Author(s): Faisal Tasleem*, Shahid M, Hina Fatima and Numan Gulzar M
Labeo rohita, commonly known as rohu and Cirrhinus marigala, popularly known as morakkha are economically most important and extensively cultured fish species in the entire Indian subcontinent. Genetic evaluation of these species is necessary for their proper supervision conservation and profitable production. Various types of molecular markers are available but SSR are most important one due to their equal distribution, abundance in the genome, co- dominance, polymorphic, low cost detection and multi-allelic nature. In this study ten samples of each species were collected from Head Punjnad, Head Muhammad Wala and Head Trimmu region of river Chenab, Pakistan. After the extraction of DNA, amplification of five simple sequence repeat markers, their resolution on PAGE and allelic scoring for the genotypic data was used for the analysis of different genetic diversity ind..
