Characterisation of Asian Snakehead Murrel Channa striata (Channidae) in Malaysia: An Insight into Molecular Data and Morphological Approach

Table 6

List of standardised coefficients of canonical variables based on all Channa striata populations surveyed across entire Malaysia. Measurements in “bold” and “italic” indicate the greatest contribution of characters to each root. The variables are corresponding to Truss Network Measurement illustrated in Figure 2.
