Abstract

Twenty-four polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from Oxygymnocypris stewartii and were characterized in 42 individuals collected from the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 24 with an average of 12.542. The expected heterozygosity and Shannon-Wiener diversity index ranged from 0.731 to 0.932 and from 1.342 to 2.887, respectively. These polymorphic loci will be available for the evaluation of genetic diversity and population genetic structure of O. stewartii.
