This research aimed at describing the identity of the population of Panulirus versicolor lobster (Latrelle 1804) genetically based on the COI mitochondrial DNA as a marker. This research investigated 3 populations from Indonesian sea regions, namely Yogyakarta, Malang, and Papua. In this research, COI DNA from 12 individuals of P. versicolor s has been extracted using the universal primers LCO-1490 and HCO-2198. A partial sequence of mitochondrial CO1 gene with the length of 687 bp has been analyzed. The results show that the diversity of nucleotides of the Yogyakarta population is included in the medium category (π=0.011), while that of the haplotype is included in the high category (h=1,000). The nucleotide diversity of the Malang population is included in very low category (π=0. 002), whereas that of the haplotype is included in high category (h=0.833); the nucleotide diversity of Papua population is included in very low category (π=0.003), whereas that of the haplotype is included in high category (h=0.900). The genetic diversity of the population indicates that there is a pressure on this population, maybe due to the overfishing. © 2022, BIOFLUX SRL. All rights reserved.
