title: Isolation and evaluation of 18 microsatellite markers in Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky).
abstract: Eighteen novel microsatellite markers were isolated in the Chinese perch Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky) using the FIASCO method, from (AC/TG)(n) , (AG/TC)(n) , (AT/TA)(n) , (GATA/CTAT)(n) and (GATT/CTAA)(n) repeat genomic libraries. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to eight in a sample of 30 individuals from a wild population. Observed heterozygosity was between 0.100 and 0.737. Seven loci showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, null alleles were suggested at nine loci but no linkage disequilibrium between loci was detected. These loci could be useful in the population genetic study of S. chuatsi.
