Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to discriminate populations. Stepwise discriminant analysis yielded a reduced variable set that identified significant differences between all the four countries. The overall percent-correct classification rate for the four samples from the stepwise discriminant analysis based on 7, 9 and 10 adjusted morphometric characters (D. sargus, D. puntazzo, L. mormyrus samples, respectively), was 93.7, 90.6 and 96.3\%. For each species, there was a significant degree of morphological dissimilarity between countries. A clear geographical gradient occurs between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean samples, suggesting that in some cases the fish from these areas represent separate groups. {\textcopyright} 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
