Abstract:

By analyzing the growth characteristics of the Yellow River mainstream Triplophysa scleroptera, the aim of the study was to enrich its biological research. A total of 274 samples of Triplophysa scleroptera collected in Gansu and Ningxia sections of the mainstream of the Yellow River in 2022 and 2023 were used as experimental samples to analyze their age composition. Growth equation of Von Bertalanffy (VBGF), Logistic GF, Gompertz growth equation and power exponential growth equation were adopted to simulate the growth of Triplophysa scleroptera, and the maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the model parameters, and then the AIC criterion (Akaike Information Criterion) was used to evaluate the effects of each model, and the best model was selected to analyze the growth characteristics of Triplophysa scleroptera. The results showed that the VBGF growth equation (AIC value: 63.74) was the most suitable growth model for Triplophysa scleroptera, followed by the Gompertz growth equation (AIC value: 64.11) and the power exponential growth equation (AIC value: 64.12), and the Logistic growth equation (AIC value: 65.05) had the worst fitting effect, and the VBGF growth equation for the full length of the Triplophysa scleroptera is Lt=28.986·[1-e-0.097·(t1+1.258)]; the weight growth equation is Wt=194.721·[1-e-0.097·(t1+1.258)]2.9889. The results of this study can provide a scientific basis for the conservation of Triplophysa scleroptera resources.
