Meristics is a field of study in biology that focuses on counting and measuring specific morphological features of organisms, particularly in the context of fish and other aquatic animals. This includes quantifying characteristics such as the number of fin rays, scales, vertebrae, and other structural elements. Meristic counts are often used in taxonomy, systematics, and ecological studies to help differentiate species and understand their evolutionary relationships.
