Species determination applications in fishes were generally made by using
external morphological features, morphometric and meristic measurements until
recent years. However, species
identification or affinity relationships of different populations of the same
species are carried out at the molecular level in many fishes today.
Molecular-based studies allow the systematic identification of fish species to
be performed with high reliability using primer pairs on a gene basis. It is a practical and
applicable method to determine whether there are intraspecies differences in
species with different populations.
In previous studies on
the subject, DNA is isolated from the blood or tissues of different fish
species and identification processes are encountered with primers synthesized. There are molecular-based
studies in the determination of species belonging to some families. However, such
studies are very limited in species belonging to the Cyprinodontidae family.
In this study, it is
planned to confirm the place of the species distributed in Nemrut Crater Lake
in the systematic classification at the molecular level, which is thought to be
Aphanius mento belonging to the family of Cyprinodontidae in terms of
external morphological features. In line with the
genomic data to be obtained, it is thought to create a database in order to
determine the phylogenetic differences between the populations of the species
in other regions.
