Population genetic structure of fringe-lipped carp, Labeo fimbriatus from the peninsular rivers of India.

ABSTRACT: Labeo fimbriatus is a medium carp species found throughout India's peninsular river basins and is regarded as a valuable aquaculture resource alongside Indian major carps due to its taste and nutritional value. This species has recently declined dramatically due to habitat degradation and overfishing. Because of its enormous economic importance, a selective breeding programme is likely to be in place to improve performance traits. Knowledge of genetic variation among the base population from which the broodstock will be selected is an important step in this process. A diverse genetic base of broodstock is required to achieve the best response to selection for long-term aquaculture management practices. Consequently, using mitochondrial DNA (ATPase 6 and Control region) and microsate
