Genetic diversity Investigation of Silver Seabream Acanthopagrus Cuvieri (Day,1878) in Persian gulf and Oman sea using Microsatellite marker

In this study eight microsatellite DNA loci were used to examine the population genetic structure of Acanthopagrus curvieri, .170 individuals from four sites in Persian Gulf an on Site in Oman Sea were analyzed. The results Showed that number of Na and Ne in locus were very low. But observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity and gene diversity of were median. The results of analysis of molecular variance pairwise RST values indicate that, hat 87.54% of the genetic variation contained within populations and 13.46% occurred among populations. The Boushhr and Genaveh and Dayer populations were not significantly different from each other, but significant different from the other population, and khormosa and genaveh samples were also not significantly different from each other, but significantly different from all other samples. The samples were collected form Bandrabbas site was significant different from all other samples in Persian Gulf. The gene flow were estimated (Nm) indicted that existence of high gene flow among populations from 0.994 to 11.114. Neighbour-joining analysis clustered the bandarabas samples far from the others while population collections from Persian Gulf were clustered in one clade. In summery bandarabas population were distinct population from Persian Gulf population.
