Abstract

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the most important native bony fish species with high economic value . Stock rebuilding the fish is done through artificial reproduction and release of baby fish, that can cause disturb genetic diversity of this valuable species. The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic diversity of common carp in the river Gharehsou, Gorgan Gulf and also Gomishan wetland,That to do the work of 90 fish samples and DNA was extracted. The PCR was used by five pairs of microsatellite loci (MFW20, MFW2, MFW17, MFW7, MFW16), which All of them were polymorphic. The number of alleles, observed and expected heterozygosity in the range of 17-7, 0/87-0/14 and 0/90-0/76, respectively. Fst average as an indicator of genetic differentiation obtained, 0/05. In reviewing Hardy - Weinberg equilibrium test of the 15 studied 14 samples showed significant deviations from equilibrium. The results of the draw cluster analysis showed that the samples studied belong to populations.
