Özet
In this study, four species of Tilapia Oreochromis aureus, O. niloticus, Tilapla zillii and T. rendalli were collected from distributional range comprising lakes, rivers and Aquaculture research centers in Cukurova and Hatay regions. Morphometric and meristic characters were used for morphologic identification. Discriminant fuction anaiysis of morphometric characters revealed clear morphometric discreteness of Cukurova University (CU) O. aureus sample, and other specieas were overlapped together. In meristic characters, species and populations were clearly separated from each other. However T. rendalli, O. niloticus and O. auratus from CU samples were overlapped together and showed no meristic differences. Principal component anaiysis revealed that giil rakers and anal fin rays were important key characters to discriminate species.
