Abstract
Fifteen new microsatellite markers were isolated in rock carp, Procypris rabaudi (Tchang), from an AC-enriched genomic library. The allele number of these loci ranged from three to 13 (average 6.87 per locus) in the tested 24 individuals. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.453 to 0.821 with an average of 0.719. Average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.712 (range 0.565–0.917) and 0.772 (range 0.542–0.855), respectively. These microsatellite markers could be useful in the population genetic study of rock carp.
