Application of microsatellite markers for genetic conservation and management of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus, Borodin, 1897) in the Caspian Sea

A study was conducted to ascertain the genetic structure and the level of heterozygosity of Acipenser persicus in the Caspian Sea. A total of 167 fish were randomly collected from Turkmenistan, Russia and two regions of Iran. The number of alleles of eleven microsatellite markers ranged from 3 to 21...

description A study was conducted to ascertain the genetic structure and the level of heterozygosity of Acipenser persicus in the Caspian Sea. A total of 167 fish were randomly collected from Turkmenistan, Russia and two regions of Iran. The number of alleles of eleven microsatellite markers ranged from 3 to 21 and the mean observed values of heterozygosity were 0.56 ± 0.20, 0.64 ± 0.14, 0.67 ± 0.16, and 0.64 ± 0.11. The observed heterozygosity was lower than the expected levels. The observed low genetic differentiation indicates that all populations are closely related. Hence, inbreeding is a potential problem, which should be taken into consideration in future breeding programs to avoid a further decline in genetic diversity.
