Investigation of the genetic diversity of pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790), through DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis from two habitats
Etroplus suratensis (pearl spot) is a commercially important cichlid native to South and Southeast Asia, yet its genetic variation in habitats of Karnataka has not been previously studied. This study integrates morphological and molecular approaches to examine specimens from freshwater (n=65) and brackish water (n=60)...
