A study using a truss network of 12 distance measurements was carried out on the intra-/inter-species morphological characteristics of the sagittal otolith in Coilia mystus(the Chongming Island),Coilia nasus taihuen-sis(the Yellow Sea),and Coilia nasus(the Oujiang Estuary).The results suggested that much more significant inter-species differences were observed than those of intra-species.Discriminant function analysis allowed correct classification rate of 100%,94%,100% for C.mystus vs.C.nasus,C.nasus vs.C....
