The homologous landmarks used in the analysis of the fish body shape variation illustrated in settling larvae and adult specimen. Landmarks (LMs) used in this study defining the overall body shape of Acanthurus triostegus . LM (1) mouth tip; LM (2) centre of eye; LM (3) posterior tip of the premaxilla; LMs (4) and (5) anterior and posterior insertion of the dorsal fin; LMs (6) and (7) dorsal and ventral base of the caudal fin; LMs (8) and (9) posterior and anterior insertion of the anal fin; LM (10) insertion of the pelvic fin; LMs (11) and (12) inferior and superior insertion of the pectoral fin; LM (13) most dorso-posterior margin of the opercle; LM (14) point of maximum curvature of the inner edge of the preoperculum; LM (15) insertion of the operculum on lateral profile. Scale bar = 1 cm.
