Abstract

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA marker (RAPD) was used to analyze genetic variation in two populations of Tor tor from Narmada and Ken Rivers. Out of 80 random primers screened, eight primers generated scorable patterns in the two populations. The bands in the range 231 to 1993 bp were scored for consistent results. RAPD fingerprinting generated by all the eight primes revealed varying degrees of polymorphism ranging from 35% to 67%. The average genetic distance between the populations was 0.5167. The results revealed that the two populations of T. tor from Narmada and Ken rivers had different spawning populations with different stocks of T. tor.

Keywords: Tor tor, RAPD marker, genetic distance, population.
