Abstract

Five microsatellite loci (MFW1, MFW3, MFW4, MFW5 and MFW7) were used to study the genetic diversity and characterization of different strains (Maharashtra, Local, Koi and Amour) of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). The average number of alleles across all loci was highest in Koi (11.4) followed by Maharashtra (11.0) and Local strains (9.0). The amour had lowest (6.2) mean number of alleles. The mean observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged between 0.45 and 0.62, while expected heterozygosity (He) 0.32–0.68. Polymorphic information content mean values varied from 0.58 to 0.74. The Nm and the FST values indicated a low level of gene flow and high level of differentiation. The highest genetic distance was observed between the Amour and the Local strains, while the lowest was between Maharashtra and Local strains. The FST value ranged between 0.028 and 0.207.
