Abstract

Seven single-locus dinucleotide microsatellite markers were developed to characterize an economically important sport fish and food fish in Malaysia and in Southeast Asia. They were obtained by using a rapid method namely the 5′-anchored PCR enrichment protocol. The specific primers were designed to flank the repeat sequences and these were subsequently used to characterize 120 unrelated fish from Malaysia and 30 fishes from Indonesia. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 (SYKVJ1-11) to 6 (SYKVJ1-4) while the levels of heterozygosity ranged from 0.0472 (SYKVJ1-11) to 0.7745 (SYKVJ1-2).
