Abstract
A genetic linkage map has been constructed for the common carp ( Cyprinus carpio L.). The segregation of 272 markers, including 105 gene markers, 110 microsatellites, and 57 RAPD markers was studied in a panel with 46 haploid embryos derived from a single hybrid female. The hybrid was produced by crossing a common carp ( C. carpio L.) and a Boshi carp ( Cyprinus pellegrini pellegrini Tchang). A genetic linkage map was constructed using the panel and 268 markers. The map spans 4111 cm over 50 linkage groups covering the 50 chromosomes of this species. A locus associated with the cold tolerance trait of common carp was mapped on linkage group 5. This map is a starting point for further mapping quantitative traits loci (QTL) linked to important economic traits in common carp.
