Mismatch between molecular (mtDNA) and morphological classification of Macrobrachium prawns from Southern Nigeria: Cryptic freshwater species and brackish water morphotypes

2013-10-01

Abstract excerpt

With a wide distribution across brackish and freshwater habitats in West African coastal regions, the giant prawns, Macrobrachium vollenhovenii and Macrobrachium macrobrachion, are potential candidates for aquaculture in the region. Here, we present the first molecular investigation of the phylogeography and systematics of these prawns. Morphological analyses unambiguously classed individuals into two clusters cor...
