Genetic variation in three paddlefish (Polyodon spathula Walbaum) stocks based on microsatellite DNA analysis by D. Kaczmarczyk, M. Luczynski, P. Brzuzan

“…Our data were compared with those reported for one native population from the Mississippi River (USA). The polymorphism of examined loci varied in the Polish and Ukrainian stocks, showing 25-30 alleles across each stock (3.6-4.3 alleles per locus), though they were less polymorphic than those in the Mississippi (49 across the population, 7.0 per locus). …”
