Abstract

Thirteen new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed and tested in 57 individuals from three locations along the Paraná River. All loci were polymorphic, with 2–22 alleles per locus. Cross-species amplifications were successful for all loci in four other Prochilodus species, suggesting that these microsatellites will be useful for investigation of genetic variation and structure in Prochilodus populations.
