Genetic Investigation of Some Perciformes Fish Species Using Karyological Analysis

Abstract

, moonlight gourami (T. microlepis) and snakeskin gourami (T. pectoralis) (Vidthayonon, 2005). Study of chromosomes using cytogeneyic analysis, were enables the development of evolutionary, taxonomic, and phylogenetic inferences (Jacobina et al., 2011). Cytogenetic invesigations provide important basic knowledge which may have applications for many other studies, such as detection of ploidy in fishes (Pradeep et al., 2011& 2012). Molecular cytogenetic studies on chromosomes constitute important approaches for characterizing species and reconstructing phylogenetic relationships (Ocalewicz et al., 2008; Ruiz-Herrera et al., 2012). Karyological features indicate the ARTICLE INFO
