Abstract
Resource genetics idendtification is one of the most efficient strategies for fisheries management regarding commercially important marine resources.One of the valuable species of shrimp in the Persian Gulf is the banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis), which accounts for about 60% of total annual shrimp catch in Hormozgan province.Identifying the genetic structure of the country's marine reserves is an effective way of efficient fisheries management. In this study, the amount of genetic diversity in the populations of this species was studied using microsatellite markers by 10 primers in four populations at Jask, Kolahi, Bandar Abbas power plant and Tula catch area and their genetic characteristics were compared with a 1 gram shrimp batch as a sample from stock enhancement project which was being stocked near kolahi area. Results of Genetic Distance Matrix, Heterozygosity, Assignment Test and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium at the Locations Indicated Average Population Distance (over 0.05 ) and Possible Effects of nursery ground and Regional Hydrodynamic Flows.
