title: Isolation and characterization of nine microsatellite loci from the pike-perch, Sander lucioperca (Linnaeus, 1758).
abstract: In order to facilitate studies on the genetic structure of wild populations as well as to monitor genetic changes in cultured stocks, nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from pike-perch (Sander lucioperca). Single loci allele numbers varied between two (loci MSL-3 and MSL-7) and six (loci MSL-1 and MSL-2), and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.36 (locus MSL-2) to 1.00 (locus MSL-9) in a test panel of 25 individuals. Only one pair of loci (MSL-5 and MSL-8) displayed significant linkage disequilibrium after sequential Bonferroni corrections. Hardy-Weinberg tests revealed significant excesses of heterozygotes at three loci (MSL-1, MSL-7, and MSL-9).
