Abstract | ||
A total of 500 specimens of goldfish Carassius auratus were collected from Al-Habbaniyah Lake. Of these, 150 fishes were chosen for this study. The relationship between total length TL and distance of different external parts. The study was showed that the body depth BD, Body width BW and Body circumference BC increased with increasing of total length TL, also mouth depth MD and mouth width MW, for that the shape of fish is spindle with more depth in dorsal part. The percentage distance for body are 0.274 BD,0.121 BW, 0.666 BC also for head , 0.184 HD and 0.209 HL, the mouth is small depending on feeding behavior. The study showed that dorsal fin and abdomens fin in the posterior of first half of body, percentage distance for dorsal fin OD are 0.417 and 0.408 for abdoment fin. | ||
