Description Macrobrachium rosenbergii, giant freshwater prawn, is one of the most commercially important
crustaceans. In the present study, primers for ATPase 6/8 region of mt-DNA were designed and
successfully amplified (827 bp) in the species. The nucleotide variation in ATPase 6/8 gene revealed
the population structuring in natural populations of M. rosenbergii in Indian waters. A total of 35
haplotypes were observed in 93 individuals collected from different locations. Low nucleotide
diversity and high haplotype diversity were noticed for the ATPase 6/8 gene. Significant pairwise FST
and, haplotype network indicated occurrence of distinct populations. Observed mismatch
distribution and Tajima’s D test suggested demographical stability of giant freshwater prawn.
The genetic stock structure revealed in this study will be helpful for conservation and management
of stocks of M. rosenbergii in Indian waters.
