Title Population Genetic Structure of
Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus)
along Indian coast
 
Creator Mohitha, C
 
Subject Fish Genetics
 
Description Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus), is a commercially important pelagic
fish in Middle East, Indian and other south East Asian countries, and more over a
potential fin fish species for mariculture. The overfishing and overexploitation of
this valuable species can reduce their chance of successful reproduction and this
may result in changes in species genetic variability and population structure.
Despite its importance as a valuable marine resource, little is known about its
genetic diversity and population structure of this species in Indian waters.
Therefore, there was an urgent need to study the baseline information on genetic
stock structuring of this species across its range of natural distribution along
Indian waters. Identifying the population structure of commercially important
native resources would be the base for genetic upgradation, fisheries management
and conservation programs and is significant for every nation.
The present study entitled "Population Genetic Structure of Silver pomfret
(Pampus argenteus) along Indian coast" aims to determine the fine-scale
population structure in P. argenteus collected from five geographical locations
along Indian coast using mitochondrial ATPase 6/8 gene and polymorphic
microsatellite markers. This study investigates the level of genetic diversity and
population genetic structure of the species along the Indian coast and a possibility
of population size contraction, since there are indications about the catch decline
in the past two decades.
