Abstract excerpt

Two molecular techniques which reveal highly variable DNA polymorphisms, RAPD and multilocus DNA fingerprinting, were used to evaluate genetic diversity between six aquacultural strains of Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia) from the Philippines. The results using both techniques were in close agreem...
