“…In contrast to isozymes, RAPD provides a more arbitrary sample of the genome and generates essentially unlimited numbers of loci for use in genetic analysis (Fritsch & Rieseberg, 1996). Genetic differentiation based on RAPD analysis in various fish species has been noted in many studies (Bielawski & Pumo, 1997;Coccone et al, 1997;Koh et al, 1999;Liu et al, 1999;Imron et al, 2009;Mulyasari et al, 2010, Moria et al, 2010Imron et al, 2010;Iskandariah et al, 2011;Lante et al, 2011;Nugroho et al, 2011). But so far, no published data on genetic variation of the populations of flying fish H. oxycephalus from Makassar Strait, Indonesia.…”
