摘要
Coilia nasus is an important economic migratory fish in China, and it is known as "Three Delicious Fish of the Yangtze River" with puffer fishes and reeves shad. However, because of water pollution, blocked migration and overfishing, wild resources of C. nasus have suffered severe damage. This article gives an overview on genetic diversity of C. nasus from morphology, protein and DNA levels, to supply a theoretical foundation for protection of C. nasus resources.
