Genetic characterization of three Ompok species using mitochondrial DNA sequences
Partial sequences of cytochrome b (Cyt b) and 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) mitochondrial genes were used for species identification and estimating phylogenetic relationship among three commercially important Ompok species viz. O. Pabda, O. pabo and O. bimaculatus. The sequence analysis of Cyt b (1118bp) and 16S rRNA (569 & 570bp) genes revealed that O. pabda, O. pabo & 0. bimaculatus were genetically distinct species and they exhibited identical phylogenetic relationship. The present study discussed usefulness of mtDNA genes (Cyt b & 16S rRNA) in resolving taxonomic ambiguity and estimating phylogenetics relationship.
