ISSR Marker Analysis of Cypriniform Fishes in Southern Western Ghats

Abstract

The conservation biology and knowledge of the relatedness between populations is particularly important in absorbed breeding programs that attempt to reduce incestuous mating in order to minimize inbreeding. A decline in genetic variation reduces the ability of a population to adapt to environmental changes and decreases its long term survival. The molecular genetic variability among three cyprinids fish species (D. aequippinatus, G. mullya and D. filamentosa) using ISSR markers was used to detect cyprinids species-specific DNA markers. In the present investigation, ISSR analysis offered some species-specific markers and the numbers of these molecular markers were varied from species to species.

Keywords: D. aequippinatus, G. mullya and D. filamentosa, cyprinid species, ISSR markers
