“…Genetic diversity facilitates further evolution given environmental change and may in addition play a key ecosystem function (Reusch & Hughes, ). Information of genetic variation in M. rosenbergii in Bangladesh has until recently been mostly unexplored, but recent studies on Penaid shrimps in Bangladesh have uncovered high levels of genetic diversity (Alam, de Croos, & Pálsson, ; Alam & Pálsson, ; Alam, Westfall, & Pálsson, , ; Hurwood et al., ). Several genetic studies have been applied to M. rosenbergii including allozymes (reviewed in Agarwal et al., ), mtDNA (De Bruyn et al, ; Hurwood et al., ), microsatellites (Hurwood et al., ; Khan et al., ), and more recently identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (Agarwal et al., ; Jung et al., ).…”
