Morphometric and meristic identification and differentiation between two sympatric Macrobrachium prawn species in the northwest Bangladesh

Species identification is becoming a difficult task when there is a very little difference among them. In crustaceans things are more complicated as because they are quiet similar in appearance. To identify and differentiate between two sympatric freshwater prawn Macrobrachium lamarrei and M. lanchesteri in the northwestern Bangladesh collection of experimental samples were done from […]
