A total of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized. A population survey was conducted involving 45 specimens whereby a large number of alleles (range 5-17 among loci), a highly observed (0.1667-0.6129) and an expected (0.6967-0.9448) heterozygosity was detected, indicating its usefulness in population genetics studies. Cross-species amplification was successful in eight Characiformes species.32-34engaquaculturecross-amplificationevolutionfishmicrosatellite isolationrepetitive sequencesLeporinus macrocephalusmicrosatelliteArtigo10.1111/j.1471-8286.2006.01484.xWOS:000243024000009Acesso restrito0804793944846367
