Abstract
RAPD analysis of seven samples of fivePorphyra species,P haitanensis (three samples of cultured population),P. katadai var.hemiphylla, P. oligospermatangia, P. suborbiculata andP. yezoensis, showed the closest relationship existing among the three cultured populations ofP. haitanensis. The genetic distance betweenP. haitanensis andP. oligospermatangia was the same as that betweenP. haitanensis andP. suborbiculata, both were 0.9. The genetic distances, among the other species ofPorphyra ranged from 0.7 to 0.8. UPGMA analysis showedP. suborbiculata andP. yezoensis belong to another lineage. Results of this study suggests that RAPD analysis is effective at population level.
