Microsatellite analysis of population genetic diversity in Triplophysa xiangxiensis

Nine novel microsatellites for the cavefish (Triplophysa rosaChen & Yang, 2005)

“…This may also explain why most of the polymorphic loci (5 out of 9) were in significant deviation from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The mean polymorphic information content (PIC) is 0.583, showing a moderately polymorphism, which is consistent with previous reports for this species (Zhao et al., ) and also similar to the results of another cave fish (Yao et al., ). In summary, the novel polymorphic markers will facilitate further conservation efforts, including an effective management of this fascinating fish.…”
