Population Genetics of Tor douronensis in Sarawak – A Revisit

Tor douronensis, known locally as Semah, is one of the valuable resources of Sarawak due to its high nutritional value and demand as game fish. Several molecular studies related to T. douronensis have been carried out and deposited in GenBank including the data collected from Ba Kelalan, Layar and...
