In this study, Pangasiidae is a large family of tropical freshwater catfishes found
throughout South and Southeast Asia. Pangasius nasutus is an excellent food fish with
sweet flesh, but it is still quite difficult to find in the market because the availability is
still dependent on catches from the wild and the number of Pangasius nasutus has
declined in the local river. Thus, the objective of this study was to study the genetics
relationship of Pangasius nasutus using the phylogenetic analysis based on
cytochrome b gene. The method used to summarize the phylogeny of this species
were Neighbour Joining (NJ), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Maximum Parsimony (MP)
using MEGA7 software. The results from phylogenetic analysis showed that the
topology of Pangasius nasutus based on cytochrome b gene. Therefore, the current
study can be used as data sources and can be conserve the species for the future
studies of phylogenetic analysis.
