Several species of groupers belonging to the genus <i style="">Epinephelus</i> have overlapping colour patterns. In the present study four species of groupers, <i style="">Epinephelus epistictus, E. latifasciatus, E. magniscuttis </i>and <i style="">E. radiatus, </i>that are represented in the catches of Visakhapatnam were analysed for allozyme variation. The eleven enzyme systems screened twenty-five scorable loci. Sixteen loci in <i style="">E. episticuts, </i>nineteen in <i style="">E. latifasciatus, </i>fifteen in <i style="">E. magniscuttis </i>and twenty-two loci in <i style="">E. radiatus </i>were found to be polymorphic at p = 0.95 level. Average heterozygosity ranged form 0.0582±0.063 to 0.0704±0.0442. Diagnostic alleles that help in clearly distinguishing the species were identified. UPGMA dendrogram revealed that <i style="">E. epistictus </i>is closely related to <i style="">E. magniscuttis </i>compared to other two species. |
