Allozyme Markers for Population Structure Analysis in Labeo dero (Hamilton Buchanan, 1822)

Abstract

Labeo dero specimens, from four different rivers (n= 60), were analysed for allozyme variations. The eighteen enzyme systems screened provided twenty five scorable loci. Seven loci were polymorphic. The significant genotype heterogeneity was observed, between the sample sets. The identified loci exhibited significant potential, to determine population structure of L. dero, across its natural range of distribution.
