Min: minimum, Max: maximum, DFR: dorsal fin ray, PFR: pectoral fin ray, VFR: ventral fin ray, AFR: anal fin ray, CFR: caudal fin ray, GR: gill rakers, and CV: coefficient of variations. Meristic counts were calculated using the mean lengths of 111.52 ± 6.97 for B. barila, 122.82 ± 16.65 for C. reba, 78.98 ± 4.43 for C. nama, 92.69 ± 9.32 for M. bleekeri, and 162.10 ± 16.08 for C. garua. The data are expressed as mean ± SD (standard deviation).
