[Method] The comparison of 10 morphological characteristics between male and female individuals of P. dabryanus was conducted with principal component analysis and t-test methods. [Result] The results of t-test indicated that three of 10 morphological characteristics showed extremely significant difference（P0.01）and one of 10 morphological characteristics was significantly different（P0.05）. Principal component analysis revealed four principal components,the contribution rate of which was 31.151%,18.844%,12.324% and 10.169%,respectively. The cumulative contribution rate had reached 72.487%. The morphological variations between male and female individuals were not significant,which was consistent with that of t-test. [Conclusion] The result in this study had provided theoretical basis for the breeding of P. dabryanus.展开更多

The count- able and measurable properties, fatness, mature coefficient, relative fecundity, as well as the fertilized and the hatching rates were measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the fatness of the two species （P〉0.05） and between the fatness of male and female Paramisgumus dabryanus （P〉0.05）, while significant difference existed between male and female Misgurnus anguillicauda- tus （0.01〈P〈0.05）; the mature coefficients of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 6.56% and 11.36%, respectively; the relative fecundities of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 115.70 eggs/g and 147.69 eggs/g, respectively; the fertilized rates of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Mis- gurnus anguillicaudatus were of 90.62% and 97.52%, respectively; and the hatching rates of Paramisgumus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 92.45% and 97.16%, respectively. It was concluded that Misgumus anguillicaudatus was bet- ter than Paramisgurnus dabryanus in breeding performance in autumn.展开更多

A best power model was estimated for the length-weight relationship during the early life stages. Positive allometric growth for the head segment, trunk length, tail length and eye diameter was also found in the early life stages, while body depth, tail depth, tail fi n length, pectoral fi n length and barbel length displayed a negative coeffi cient. During the subsequent early developmental stage, the growth coeffi cients showed a clear and common tendency towards isometry for all measured body ratios. The allometric growth changes in Chinese loach during the early stage are possibly the result of selective organogenesis directed towards survival priorities.展开更多
