Abstract
The genus Thalamita ofthe family Portunidae distributed in intertidal zone especially in rocky shore They are important to economically because fishermen can take their meat to sell at high price and also used as bait Due to the privation scientific information and no work has been done on these species especially from a biochemical and genetic perspective consequently the present preliminary study attempted to evaluate the genetic variation in morphologically similar species of genus Thalamita by the use of electrophoresis Isozyme variations were determined in four Thalamita spp and seven enzyme system was selected the study was revealed that the genetic diversity was highest in T danae as compared to T admete and T crenata and the lowest in T savignyi Genetic identity and genetic distance were also observed to evaluate the relationship between species This selective information will be helpful to assess the status of the species and provides basic data for further studies
