Genetic Diversity in <i>Cichla monoculus</i> (Spix and Agassiz, 1931) Populations: Implications for Management and Conservation

Abstract: Problem statement: The object of this study was to examine the genetic structure and gene flow in Cichla monoculus populations in seven varzea lakes of the Solimoes River using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, to monitor the region where petroleum is transported in the Amazon basin. Approach: The loss of genetic diversity is one of the main factors leading to reduced evolutionary potential in species of fish. In this context, this paper seeks to understand how the influence of the stretch of … Show more

“…Thus, for conservation measures to be effective, they must be based on the information between environment and organism, in order to avoid local extinction of threatened species. The integration of some types of analyses, such as species distribution, phenotypic variation, landscape change, and population genetics, can contribute to management and conservation strategies (Santos et al, 2011(Santos et al, , 2016Escobar et al, 2015;Gravena et al, 2015). In addition, knowledge of the biology of the species is vital for defining a conservation strategy, particularly in areas under environmental pressure.…”
