Abstract
Eleven microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized from enriched genomic libraries of Channa argus. The loci were scored in 40 specimens from one natural population. We explored 6–17 alleles per locus with observed and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.8000 to 1.0000 and 0.7269 to 0.9551, respectively, containing 0.830 average polymorphic information content. Significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were detected only at one loci and linkage disequilibrium between three loci was found to be significant after applying Bonferroni correction (P < 0.005). These newly developed markers should be significant in population genetic assessment studies or construction of genetic linkage map for this important snakehead fish species in future.
