Abstract

Out of 20 primers, 6 generated 1349 highly reproducible RAPD markers, producing approximately 5.2 polymorphic bands per primer in catfish(Sizurus asotus) population from Kunsan. The electrophoretic analysis of polymerase chain reaction-random amplified polymorphic DNAs (PCR-RAPD) products showed the middle levels of similarity between different individuals in population from Kunsan. That is to say, the degree of similarity varied from 0.40 to 0.54, with the average of 0.46, as calculated by bandsharing analysis. (omitted)
