Abstract:
The study about morphometric of tapah fish (Wallago leeri Bleeker, 1851) from Siak River and Kandis River had been done. The purpose of this study was to compare tapah fish from Siak River and Kandis River using 26 morphometric characters. This study was carried out from February 2013 to July 2013 using survey method. The number of samples which
collected was 60 individual of tapah fish, consisted of 30 tapah fish from Siak River and 30 tapah fish from Kandis River. The results indicated the differences of morphometric
characters between tapah fish from Siak River and Kandis River. Linear regression analysis showed that tapah fish from Siak River and Kandis River have very weak to very strong relationship. Its growth status showed the positive allometric, isometric, and negative allometric
