Tóm tắt

Scatophagus argus is a recreational and commercial fish in East Asia. There is no genetic information about wild populations available so far. A first set of 15 microsatellite loci were developed from the species and characterized. The number of alleles per locus varied from 3 to 12 with the average of 6.6. Levels of observed heterozygosity (HO) per locus ranged from 0.421 to 0.876, and the expected heterozygosity (HE) per locus was from 0.497 to 0.931. No significant linkage disequilibrium was detected between loci, and no departure from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was observed except for the locus SA108. These polymorphic microsatellite markers would aid in the conservation and management in Scatophagus argus.
