Molecular Phylogenetics and Population Structure of two Mahseer Species (Tor Tambroides Bleeker and Tor Douronensis Valenciennes: Cyprinidae) in Malaysia

This study examines the phylogenetic relationships of mahseer (genus Tor and Neolisssochillus) and their relationships with other selected cyprinids using sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene (464 base pairs). This study also describes the genetic structure of...
