A comparative study of mtDNA Cytb and D-loop sequence variation of tilapia breeding population was carried out. The ratio of polymorphic loci with both methods averaged 0.776,74, the ratio of haplotype diversity averaged 0.919,45, the ratio of nucleotide diversity index averaged 0.769,77; the ratio of nucleotide difference averaged 0.936,19. The average base transition rate of Cytb and D-loop sequence were 0.042,67 and 0.037,25, respectively, whereas the average base transversion rate of Cytb and D-loop sequence were 0.004,10 and 0.022,84, respectively. The results compared and revealed the differences in sequence analysis of Cytb and D-loop, which might provide references for the similar studies.
