Resultsrevealed that no DNA polymorphism was detected within the population of O.aureus andpolymorphism in varying degrees was observed among individuals. Similarity index andgenetic distance calculated have no remakable difference with data reported by others. RAPDanalysis using mixed samples was also tested in this experiment. In addition, someelectrophoregrams of amplification products also suggested the occurrence of geneticintrogression between the two cultured tilapia populations. Conclusively, RAPD technique isa rapid and efficient method for studying genetic polymorphism within and between differentpopulations, and RAPD markers can be used to identify different fish populations.展开更多
