Revealed using Microsatellite Markers]]>RozihanM. IsmailE. Akbar JohnB. JalalK.C.A. Mohd-AdnanA. 1201381The genetic structure of horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas) populations
were examined using 18 microsatellite markers. Samples were collected from 2
stations of east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and one station from East Malaysia.
All the observed allelic frequency showed no significant variation between sampling
stations (p>0.05). Mean allelic richness (Ar) was greater in Sarawak
population (4.83) followed by Pahang (4.24) and Terengganu (3.57) samples with
the overall mean allelic richness of 4.21. Mean inbreeding coefficient (FIS)
value was higher in Sarawak population (0.37) followed by Terengganu (0.31)
and Pahang population (0.17). The genetic differentiation (FST value)
and genetic distance between geographically closer populations was smaller compared
to geographically isolated populations. Due to the dwindling population size
of horseshoe crabs in Malaysian coast line, present data provides new information
in assisting proper management and conservation of this living fossil.]]>John, B.A., K.C.A. Jalal, K. Zaleha, P. Armstrong and B.Y. Kamaruzzaman,2011Tachypleus gigas).]]>44321327Akbar John, B., S.
