Short summary
The aim of the present study was to determine morphometric and meristic characteristics of two populations (wild and cultured) of Cichlasoma festae and to establish whether populations could be discriminated based on morphometric variability. Twenty-two morphometric and four meristic characters were used to test the hypothesis differentiation. The results suggested that the rearing system has influences and both groups were accurately separated by linear discriminant functions.
