Anguilla bicolor is a commercial and predominant species within the eels group in Aceh waters. The objective of the present study was to analyze the morphometric variation of the A. bicolor collected from three different locations in Aceh waters, Indonesia. A total of 18 individuals of fish samples (6 individuals from every location) were measured for traditional-truss network morphometric characters. The univariate (ANOVA) analysis showed that the morphometric of the three eel populations were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Multivariate (Discriminant function analysis, DFA) analysis was successfully grouping three eel populations into three groups, where A. bicolor SKL and A. bicolor TB were more similar than A. bicolor KJU populations.
