Abstract:
In this paper, we describe primers for 27 new microsatellite loci tested on five species of
migratory Asian catfish:
Pangasius krempfi
,
P. bocourti
,
P. conchophilus
,
P. pleurotaenia
,
and
Helicophagus waandersii
. These primers were developed from a (GATA)
n
library created
from the pooled DNA of three species of pangasiid catfish. All 27 loci are polymorphic
in at least one species. Fifteen loci are polymorphic in at least three species. The primers
described in this paper are thus shown to be useful in several species within the catfish
family Pangasiidae, and may prove useful in additional species in future tests.
