Genetic characterization of a pure relict population of Oreochromis esculentus, an endangered tilapia

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 54, No. 5, Year 1999

Genetic variation of the Oreochromis esculentus population from Lake Kanyaboli was studied using 24 allozyme loci and three microsatellite loci and compared with four populations of 0. niloticus. Results strongly suggest that this population can be considered as pure.
