Abstract: There are six RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers related with cold tolerance trait in common carp (Cyprinus(Cyprinus) carpio L.), two of which are interrelated with the cold tolerance of red common carp (Cyprinus carpio wuyuanensis), and the others with that of Cyprinus(Cyprinus) pellegrini Tchang. The marker 5N1451c interrelated with cold tolerance Cyprinus(Cyprinus) pellegrini Tchang is mapped on linkage 5.The results showed that cold tolerance traits of common carp are quantitative traits.
