Dendrograms - Family Orientation

Dendrograms allow ASICo to chart the "relatedness" between animals from different collection regions/areas/ponds; relatedness between parent-offspring or soley offspring from any number of random samplings.   The dendrogram below shows how 54 randomly selected P.vannamei were categorized using marker technology.
