Abstract
Lake chub is a common freshwater cyprinid found throughout Canada and parts of the northern United States. Here we describe 36 novel microsatellite loci, 25 of which are polymorphic, exhibiting between 2 and 17 alleles each, while the remaining 11 loci are monomorphic. Observed and expected heterozygosities for the polymorphic markers ranged from 0.125 to 0.875 and 0.146 to 0.878, respectively. There was no evidence of linkage disequilibrium between any locus pairs, nor was there any evidence of null alleles. There were however, six markers deviating from Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium, a result we attribute to relatively small sample size.
