Abstract
Leptobotia rubrilaris is a threatened fish species of the Yangtze River in China. A first set of sixteen polymorphism microsatellite loci isolated from this species was characterized. The number of alleles, observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 2 to 8, 0.1667 to 1.000 and 0.1587 to 0.8342, respectively. Two loci significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.148 to 0.791. Ten loci were highly informative, four were moderately informative, and two was slightly informative. These polymorphic microsatellite markers will be useful to study genetic diversity and genetic structure of L. rubrilaris for conservation and management.
