The molecular phylogenetic of payangga (G. margaritacea), manggabai (G. giuris) and hulu’u from Limboto Lake based on cytochrome B sequences

Abstract

Payangga (G. margaritacea), manggabai (G. giuris), and hulu’u are native fishes that live in Limboto Lake, Gorontalo. The aim of this research was to describe the molecular phylogenetic of payangga (G. margaritacea), manggabai (G. giuris), and hulu’u based on cytochrome b sequences. The phylogenetic three was reconstructed using MEGA 6.0 with Neighbour Joining (NJ) and Minimum Evolution (ME) methods. The result indicated that hulu'u was included in the same cluster with three comparable species, namely P. microps, P. minutus, and C. chanos, while G. giuris belongs to the same cluster as G. margaritacea
