Comparative morphometrics of Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus, Paralonchurus brasiliensis and Micropogonias furnieri (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) by multivariate analysis of truss networks. Morphological differentiation among three species of sciaenid fishes, Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus, Paralonchurus brasilliensis and Micropogonias furnieri, was analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques, using measuraments obtained from truss networks based on anatomical landmarks. Principal components analysis of interlandmark distances defined by the truss system showed that the individuais of Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus are different from those of the other two species in relation to shape, being more similar to the individuals of Micropogonias furnieri in relation to size.
