Abstract:Genetic diversity of the first filial generation of two cultured populations of Platichthys stellatus from South Korea (S) and Russia (R) was examined. Eleven from 40 random primers were used for population genetic analysis, and a total of 57 clear RAPD bands ranging from 300 to 2500 bp were recognized. The numbers of polymorphic bands of S and R populations were 33 and 32, respectively, and the mean percentages of polymorphic bands of them were 57.89% and 56.14%, Nei's diversity index of them were 0.230 5 and 0.194 7, and Shannon information index of them were 0.338 4 and 0.296 3. Partitioning analysis of genetic diversity in Shannon index indicated that 74.65% of genetic variation was distributed within populations and 25.35% was between populations.
