ASSESSMENT OF HABITAT, DISTRIBUTION, POPULATION SIZE AND CULTIVE OF Tlaloc hildebrandi (Miller 1950) ENDEMIC FISH, CHIAPAS, MEXICO

Determine the current distribution of T. hildebrandi. Calculate the population size of T. hildebrandi through the capture-recapture method. Estimate the genetic variability using molecular markers (microsatellite). Assess the quality of habitat using environmental characteristics and physical-chemical attributes of water. Establish a system for aquariums and ponds for survival, growth and reproduction of T. hildebrandi in captivity.
