Fishes of Gobiidae Family, Recorded from the Rivers and Estuaries of Bangladesh: Morphometric and Meristic Studies

[摘要] The study was carried out to determine morphometric and meristic characteristics of fish species belonging to Family: Gobiidae, and examined 42 specimens were collected from rivers and estuaries ecosystem in Bangladesh during January and February, 2015. Samples were found in fresh to brackish water and muddy habitats of estuary areas at Nijhum Island, (Hamilton 1822) andBoleophthalmus boddarti(Pallas 1770) have been studied and comparatively described. This paper discusses the diagnostic characteristics of these fishes. Hatiya; junction of Meghna River and Bay of Bengal, and also recorded from Pasur River is near the Sundarbans in Bagerhat.
