Abstract
Tropical estuarine systems harbor diverse
assemblages of marine organisms, among which Jagora Species are of
particular interest due to their ecological significance and potential as
indicators of estuarine health. This study investigates the morphological
variation and habitat utilization patterns of Jagora Species within
tropical estuarine ecosystems. Morphometric analyses coupled with habitat
assessments were conducted across various estuarine habitats to elucidate the
ecological preferences and adaptive strategies of Jagora Species.
Results reveal notable morphological variations among Jagora populations inhabiting
different estuarine microhabitats, indicating habitat-induced phenotypic
plasticity. Furthermore, habitat utilization patterns suggest differential
preferences among Jagora Species for substrate types, water depths, and
salinity gradients within the estuarine environment. These findings underscore
the importance of understanding morphological adaptations and habitat
utilization strategies of Jagora Species in tropical estuarine systems
for effective ecosystem management and conservation.
