Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to define subdivided populations and genetic differentiation among marine populations within the Gulf of Thailand. Reviews on population genetic structure in marine species within the Gulf of Thailand from 2003 up to now showed population genetic structure and genetic differentiation between the upper and lower Gulf of Thailand invertebrate populations such as surf clams, bean clams, giant tiger shrimps, Penaeid prawns and blue swimming crabs. These differentiations excluded a few mollusk species such as green mussels, oysters and Asian moon scallops. For vertebrate species e.g. fish, populations of Asian seabass, cobia and spotted seahorses showed no genetic differentiation except for the populations of short mackerels. Factors affecting genetic differentiation in some marine species within the Gulf of Thailand were the circulation in the Gulf of Thailand, distance between populations, and difference in some physical and biological factors. Keywords : population genetic structure, population genetics, genetic differentiation, Gulf of Thailand
