      abstract = {Landmark-based morphometric and meristic analysis of pond,  haor and estuary populations of Glossogobius  giuris
(Hamilton,1822) (Perciformes:Gobiidae) were done to  find out variations among the three stocks. Samples  were
collected from three different regions such as pond of  Mymensingh, haor of Kishoreganj and estuary of  Barisal.
Significant differences (*P<0.01) were observed in  13 general morphometric and 23 size adjusted  landmark-based
morphometric measurements among three  stocks. Among the 11 meristic counts the first dorsal fin  rays (D1FR),
transverse scale above lateral line (TSALL),  branchiostegal rays and number of vertebrae were same among  fishes
of these stocks. In case of pectoral fin rays (PcFR)  and transverse scale on lateral line (TSOLL) the haor stock  was
significantly different from other two stocks. In  discriminant space, pond stock was isolated from other two  stocks. On
the other hand, haor and estuary stocks showed  very close relationship. A dendrogram based on the  hierarchical
cluster analysis using size adjusted general  morphometric and landmark measurements formed two main  clusterspond
stock in one cluster and other two stocks  (haor and estuary) remained in another cluster. It  indicates that pond
stock was separated. The second cluster  explained that haor and estuary stocks had very close  relationship.},
