Abstract Population genetics can be defined as the science of how genetic variation is spread between species, populations and individuals. Its focused on how the evolutionary forces of mutation, selection, and migration affect the distribution of genetic variations. The rabbitfish (Siganus rivulatus), locally known as ”Sigan”, is the most common among the five species of the genus Siganus that exist in fisheries. S. rivulatus inhabits shallow sandy zones, lagoons, around rocks and coral reefs. It is one of the Lessepsian migrants. The current study was carried out in Animal Biotechnology Department, Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Research Institute (GEBRI), University of Sadat City, Sadat City, Minufiya, Egypt and The Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Botany Department, Saba Basha, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt during the period of to to study the genomic variations between rabbitfish, Siganus rivulatus from different location in Egypt based on SSR markers and mtDNA. |
