Resurrection and Re-description of (Cuvier), Silver Pomfret from the Northern Indian Ocean.

Pomfrets (Genus ) are commercially important fish in the Indo-Pacific region. The systematics of this genus is complicated because of morphological similarities between species. The silver pomfret from Indian waters has long been considered to be .

Molecular based phylogenetic species recognition in the genus Pampus (Perciformes: Stromateidae) reveals hidden diversity in the Indian Ocean.

Pomfrets (Genus Pampus) are commercially important fishes in the Indo Pacific region. The systematics of this genus is complicated due to morphological similarities between species. The silver pomfret from Indian waters has long been considered to be Pampus argenteus.

Mitochondrial signatures for identification of grouper species from Indian waters.

Groupers are important commercial fish in many parts of the world. Accurate identification is critical for effective conservation assessment and fisheries management. Genetic barcodes provide a simple and reproducible method for the identification of species even in the absence of taxonomic expertise.

Molecular identification of Bigeyes (Perciformes, Priacanthidae) from Indian waters.

Thirty-five individuals of six priacanthid fish species were sampled from different localities along the coast of India covering the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The partial sequence of 16S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) genes were analyzed for species identification and phylogenetic relationship among the Indian priacanthids (Priacanthus hamrur, P. prolixus, P.

Hints for panmixia in Scomberomorus commerson in Indian waters revealed by mitochondrial ATPase 6 and 8 genes.

Scomberomorus commerson is an economically important migratory fish distributed worldwide. The genetic stock structure of S. commerson distributed along the Indian waters was identified using mitochondrial ATPase 6 and 8 genes.

Weak genetic differentiation in cobia, Rachycentron canadum from Indian waters as inferred from mitochondrial DNA ATPase 6 and 8 genes.

Cobia, Rachycentron canadum, is an economically important migratory fish distributed in tropical waters worldwide and is a candidate fish species for aquaculture practices. The genetic stock structure of R. canadum distributed along the Indian waters was identified using mitochondrial ATPase 6 and 8 genes.

Molecular phylogenetics of three species of the genus Rastrelliger using mitochondrial DNA markers.

In the present study three species of mackerel, Rastrelliger present in Indian waters were taken for genetic identification using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16s rRNA sequences. Accurate identification of these species is important for fishery management as its morphological characters are very similar. In this study, the sequences of COI and 16S rRNA were determined from 19 individuals of three Rastrelliger species, Rastrelliger kanagurta, Rastrelliger brachysoma and Rastrelliger faughni from Andamans and Indian mainland to study the phylogenetic relationship.

Mitochondrial ATPase 6/8 genes to infer the population genetic structure of silver pomfret fish Pampus argenteus along the Indian waters.

Silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus is an economically important seafood species. The fishery resource of pomfret in Indian waters shows a dwindling catch since the last few years and the pomfrets caught were mostly undersized which calls for immediate attempts for management of resources. An accurate definition of population structure is important for management of this species.
