Abstract :

For the first time, the genetic variability of southern Caspian sea population of the brackish water amphipod (Pontogammarus maeoticus) was analyzed using randomely amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD). We analyzed 4 populations along the Mazandaran coast with 10 arbitary primers, wich produce 23 Interpretable bands. There was no significant polymorphism and 73.91% of bands were monomorphic. These results (Genetical identification) are consistent with those of morphological identification. This was the first time that the southern Caspian sea amphipods (p. maeoticus) has been genetically surveyed; therefore to monitor further alteration, variation, mutation and modulation, a continus, precise and great project with the guilan province coast results, is needed.
