title: Development of new polymorphic microsatellite markers in topmouth culter (Culter alburnus) and determination of their applicability in Culter mongolicus.
abstract: Fifteen new polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Culter alburnus. In 32 individuals representing a wild population of the Danjiangkou Reservoir, Hubei, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied between 2 and 10, with an average of 5.5. The average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.664 and 0.681, respectively. The polymorphism information content of 11 loci was more than 0.5 whereas that of the other 4 loci was less than 0.5 but more than 0.25. In addition, the genomes of 30 C. mongolicus individuals were successfully amplified with these primer pairs, indicating that the primer pairs were applicable for the related species, C. mongolicus.
