Abstract

The Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) is a very important freshwater species in the Eurasian Continent. We characterized 12 microsatellite markers in this species and evaluated their usefulness for identifying genetic variation in 40 perch individuals from the Ulungur and Taitun-4 Lakes in the Xinjiang province of China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7, the observed (H O) and expected (H E) heterozygosities were 0.053–1.000 and 0.053–0.813, respectively. These microsatellite loci will be useful for assessment of genetic variation in Perca fluviatilus.
