Polymorphic microsatellite loci from the Southeast Asian cyprinid, <i>Barbodes gonionotus</i> (Bleeker)

Abstract

Abstract The cyprinid Barbodes gonionotus (Bleeker) is a commercially important fish in both capture fisheries and aquaculture in Southeast Asia. Five polymorphic microsatellite loci from B. gonionotus are described. Four are highly variable, with 9–30 alleles observed per locus in four populations sampled from Thailand ( H O = 0.694–0.808). These will be of use in studies of population genetic structure and in pedigree analyses.
