| Summary: | 0. cayorum and Gunterichthys longipenis. Analysis (PCA), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the and Caribbean Sea failed to support the hypothesis that and Caribbean Sea were compared to specimens of Ogilbia from Bythitidae are one of two viviparous families of the order Bythitidae, Ogilbia and Gunterichthys were the subject of collected on all specimens. Raw data were analyzed using compare Ogilbia specimens with specimens of Gunterichthys to comprise about 90 species in 31 genera and range from fresh considered a polymorphic species composed of three descriptive data analysis, 0. cayorum and G. longipenis are descriptive variables of 0. cayorum from the Gulf of Mexico diversity of the genus. The secondary objective was to dominate large areas of the deep sea floor but that also live Gunterichthys. Based on morphometric, meristic and in the pelagic realm, on the continental shelf, on tropical morphological diversity of, the genus Ogilbia in the tropical Morphometric, meristic and descriptive data were nature of the variation among specimens, 0. cayorum is Ogilbia is composed of several undescribed species found Ophidiformes, a diverse but poorly known taxon of fishes that population and a southern coastal population. Results of the populations, an island population, a northern coastal present study confirmed the validity of the genus reefs, in estuaries and in fresh waters. The bythitids Results from the analysis of morphometric, meristic and test the validity of the monotypic genus Gunterichthys. This the type locality of Ogilbia cayorum to elucidate the species this study. The primary objective was to investigate the thoroughly dissimilar in all but minute characteristics. throughout the tropical Western Atlantic. Due to the subtle Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison test. various statistical tests including Principal Component was accomplished by comparing the morphological characters of waters to abyssal depths. Two of the several genera within Western Atlantic. Ogilbia specimens from the Gulf of Mexico |
