| Abstract |
Data on the taxonomic variety of marine organisms is important for understanding the reasons of underpinning species diversification in locations with low physical barriers. Morphology is widely used for the organization of life. Morphometrics is one approach to investigating and characterizing the wide variety of animal shapes and sizes. During April 2022–April 2023, we randomly collected samples of nine important marine mollusc species from the Balramgadi, Bahabalpur, and Talapada coasts in the Balasore district of Odisha, India. In the morphometric analysis, the specimens were categorized into several groups based on their ratios of SL/SW, SL/AL, SL/AW, SL/SPL, and SL/BL. |
