Abstract

Osteological studies on Leiognathus splendens (Cuvier) and Gazza minuta
(Bloch) revealed dissimilarities and similarities in both the axial and appendicular
skeletons. The need for investigation on the osteological structure of silverbellies
is indicated, as it may provide the necessary supporting evidence in the taxonomy
of the rather confusing family, Leiognathidae
