Morphometric, Isozyme and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) : Analysis of SAROTHERODON MOSSAMBICUS Populations in Java, Indonesia

<p>The tilapia fish Sarotherodon mossambicus (Teleostei, Cichlidae) is an important protein source for Indonesians, is a strong competitor with some endemic species and .readily hybridizes with other tilapias. A base line assessment of the present genetic diversity of these populations in Indonesia was conducted to facilitate the management of this species. This study compared the effectiveness of the 3 techniques (morphometric, isozyme and RAPD) in revealing differences within and among 9 Javanese populations. The data were also used to estimate the rate of divergence among the populations.</p> <p>Morphometric analysis showed significant size and shape differences among the populations. Isozyme and RAPD analysis also s howed significant population diffe rentiation (G_st= 0.067; x²= 30.15; pst= 0.217; x²= 38 .95 ; p</p>
