Three shrimps population (Penaeus semesulacatus, Penaeus japonicus,Meta Penaeus monoceros) were investigated for determination of the genetic structure by using (PCR-RAPD) and SDS-PAGE. The results obtained from RAPD technique showed the same percentages of similarity (100%) within the three studied population. On the other hand, the degrees of similarity detected by SDSPAGE were 90%, 87% and 8...
