Brief description
A study of the population genetics of the prawn Penaeus monodon in northern and eastern Australian waters. Variations in gene frequencies of allozymes and common proteins (GPI,LGG,LT-1,MDH-1,MDH-2,MPI,PGDH,PGM) were used to estimate connectivity and dispersal between populations which range through locations in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. Statistical analyses and clustering procedures were carried out.Collection of samples were from 7 locations throughout the species range in Australia: Clarence River, Townsville, Cairns, Weipa, Melville Island, Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, De Grey River.A later study was conducted on South Afican samples, see separate metadata record. To estimate connectivity and dispersal between Penaeus monodon populations in northern and eastern Australia. First systematic survey of genetic variation of P. monodon populations over a wide geographic range. Highly significant differences between western and the northern and eastern populations were demonstrated.Lineage
