Abstract
In this study, phylogenetic relationships of Petroleuciscus species in Turkey were investigated by using mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) (1140 bp). For this purpose, 84 samples from 13 populations for the cyt b gene were sequenced. The result of of genetic analysis, twenty-one haplotypes were identified and overall haplotype diversity was calculated as Hd: 0.921±0.011. The result of phylogenetic analysis of Petroleuciscus species shows the presence of two clades and four haplogroups. First clade includes Petroleuciscus smyrneaus and P. ninae from the Western Anatolia. Second clade indicated that P. borysthenicus consists of Black sea and Marmara Sea drainages and northern of Aegean Sea drainages. Haplotype network analysis and phylogeographic inference show that Petroleuciscus genus was monophyletic in Turkey.
