| The Sharp nose mullet, Liza saliensRisso, 1810 is an economically important species of Caspian Sea. In this study mitochondrialDNA sequencing (mtDNA) of 16S rRNAwas used in order to clarify genetic structure and genetic diversity of Liza saliensin tworegionsof south part of Caspian Sea, i.e. Gilan (Anzali) and Golestan(Gomishan lagoon). According to results we obtained 552base pairsof16S rRNA sequence.A total of7 different haplotypes and 33 variable sites were identified.The averagehaplotype diversity(h) and nucleotide diversity(π) in samples of two regions was 0.44 and 0.007 respectively. The resultsof genetic distance determination showed low rate in the2 regions.Estimates of gen flow indicated there is no reproductive isolationbetween two regions and alsothere was not significant genetic difference betweenthe regions(p>0.05). Findings of the present study suggested that there is one population of Liza saliens in the studied regions. |
