Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Genetic diversity of commonly available ornamental fishes in Bangladesh   Order a copy of this article
    by Md. Alamgir Kabir, Md. Golam Rabbane 
    Abstract: Ten primers OPA-05, OPE-05, OPE-04, OPC-04, OPB-04, OPG-01, OPB-01, OPB-02, OPD-04, and OPE-03 were used to identify genetic diversity in five ornamental fish species: common goldfish (Carassius gibelio), tiger barb (Barbus tetrazona), comet goldfish (Carassius auratus), angel fish (Pterophyllum scalare), and sucker fish (Hypostomus plecostomus). Eighty seven polymorphic bands were observed, showing 100% polymorphism, likely due to the species different taxonomic positions. Common goldfish and comet goldfish exhibited the highest genetic similarity (0.7167), while common goldfish and tiger barb showed the lowest (0.4667). Cluster analysis placed tiger barb in a separate group due to greater genetic distance. Common goldfish and comet goldfish formed one cluster, angel fish and sucker fish another and both clusters were combined into a broader group, reflecting their genetic relationships. Overall, the findings highlight genetic differences consistent with their taxonomic classifications which can be used for taxonomic and conservation studies of these fish species.
    Keywords: genetic diversity; ornamental fishes; RAPD analysis; taxonomic position; conservation.
