Meristic variations and skeletal deformities in natural population of mahseer fish, Tor putitora (Hamilton, 1822)
Skeletal deformities seriously relegate the biological performance of fish. The frequency of occurrence of different types of meristic variations and skeletal deformities were shown in population of Mahseer fish, Tor putitora, in two main reservoirs; Korang stream, Islamabad and Dhobi Ghat stream, Hassan Abdal. Total of ninety-five fishes were caught randomly, forty-five from the unpolluted Kor...

متن کاملGenetic structure of an endangered endemic fish (Gobiocypris rarus) in the upper Yangtze River
The goal of this study was to examine the genetic diversity and structure of wild populations of rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) in the upper Yangtze River. Individuals from nine locations were sampled and genotyped at eight microsatellite markers. Populations differed from each other on allelic frequency, although there were no significant differences on other genetic diversity indices. Our re...

متن کاملDenovo assembly and characterization of tissue-specific transcriptome in the endangered golden mahseer, Tor putitora
The golden mahseer (Tor putitora) graces most of the Himalayan Rivers of India and neighboring South Asian countries. Despite its several importance as a research model, as food, and in sport fishing, knowledge on transcriptome database is nil. Therefore, it was targeted to develop reference transcriptome databases of the species using next-generation sequencing. In the present study, 100,540,1...
