Abstract :Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were successfully used in discrimination of sexes in Nile tilapia fish ( Oreochromis niloticus) using linear discriminant function analysis. The results provide support for the view that major genetical sex determining factors exist in tilapia.Keywords : RAPD, DNA, sex discrimination, tilapia, Oreochromis
