[Analysis of genetic diversity among silver carp populations in the middle and lower Yangtse River using thirty microsatellite markers].

Abstract excerpt

Thirty microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of five Silver carp populations in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. A total of 144 different alleles were found and the number of alleles in each locus ranged from 1 to 10. Twenty-five loci (83.33%) were polymorphic. In the five populations, the average number of alleles was 4.0 to 4.1, the number of mean valid alleles was...
