Identification of salmonid fish using microsatellite markers and identical PCR-primers
A set of homologous primers were designed to provide the amplification of microsatellite markers in a variety of salmonid species. They can help in solving the problems associated with the genetics and conservation biology of salmonids: (1) species identification; (2) determination of interspecific hybrids; (3) genetic estimation of salmonid biodiversity in a watershed; (4) individualization of tissue samples, i.e., testing on their belonging to the same individual; (5) identification of the fish origin.
