Abstract

Galaxias maculatus is a widely distributed fish with diadromous and resident populations throughout Gondwanan regions. We present 17 novel microsatellite markers that were tested on 44 individuals from one lacustrine population in Patagonia. We found ten polymorphic markers and seven monomorphic markers in the population under analysis. The number of alleles in the polymorphic loci ranged from 3 to 10. The observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.11364 to 0.65909, and the expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.15204 to 0.63898. These microsatellite markers are currently being used in landscape genetic studies of G. maculatus from Patagonia.
