Conclusion
The genetic analysis of Tor tor fishes from eight different locations showed the presence of three distinct haplotypes. Of the three haplotypes, haplotype 3 was observed only from two geographical locations, Madar Tank and Daya Dam. Group 3 was the most diverse, and therefore, better equipped to adapt to changing conditions. This indicates that fish from group 3 have contributed to improving the adaptative value of Mahseer in the course of evolution. These adaptations should be exploited while repopulating the fish, which will contribute to better ecosystem management.
