| Abstract/Description: | Tor malabaricus (Jerdon) is a mahseer species endemic to the Western Ghats. Since its original description, taxonomic position of the species has been ex-tremely confusing. In the present study, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to determine the taxonomic status of T. malabaricus collected from Balamore River, Tamil Nadu, India, by comparing its RAPD profile with that of Tor khudree. 15 random oligodecamers were used to am-plify DNA from Tor malabaricus and Tor khudree (n=30 each) collected from two geographically isolated localities and a total of 119 amplicons were de-tected. The RAPD fingerprints generated were consistent, reproducible and yielded 22 species-specific markers (6 for Tor malabaricus and 16 for Tor khudree). The genetic distance of 0.3429 and the UPGMA dendrogram between the two species indicate that both are not the part of the same gene pool and have to be treated as two distinct species. The application of the result to the taxonomic status and conservation of Tor malabaricus is also discussed . |
