Abstract

The yellow catfish Pelteobagrus fulvidraco is a freshwater fish species. Due to overfishing and pollution of freshwater ecosystems, the wild stocks of this fish reduced substantially. We isolated and characterized 12 polymorphic microsatellites of this species. The number of alleles at the 12 microsatellite loci ranged from four to eight, with an average of 6.6/locus. The average observed heterozygosity was 0.72, whereas the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.60 to 0.86 (average: 0.80). All 12 microsatellites conformed to Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium and were in linkage equilibrium. These 12 novel microsatellites could facilitate studies of genetic diversity and population structure of the yellow catfish to supply necessary information of conservation of the yellow catfish.
