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 …
