Abstract
A total of 14 novel dinucleotide microsatellite loci were developed using genomic DNA enrichment protocol and characterized for one Glyptosternoid catfish, Glyptosternum maculatum. Polymorphism was explored using 36 individuals from one natural population. The observed number of alleles ranged from 2 to 9. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.0278 to 1 and 0.4319 to 0.8498, respectively and the average of PIC was 0.5754. In addition, successful cross-species amplification of these set of microsatellite markers in the related taxa, Pseudechenneis sulcatus (McClelland) suggested that they would provide a useful tool for the genetic and conservation studies of Sisoridae species.
