ABSTRACT: Background: Anabas testudineus is a freshwater perch in tropical and subtropical Asia. Market demand for this fish is high due to favourable qualities in their muscle meat. Nevertheless, availability of this fish in the Sri Lankan market is at a low level due to introduction of exotic species and unavailability of research and development of its aquaculture.
Genetic variation in the climbing perch Anabas testudineus (Bloch) was investigated by sequencing 1047 base pairs of the mitochondrial ND2 gene. A total of 367 fish samples were collected from the Mekong River. The samples were separated into two genetically differentiated intra-specific groups, the Laotian and Cambodian group, showing a population structure roughly in accordance with.
