Genetic Variability Comparison of Wild and Cultured Far Eastern Catfish (Silurus asotus) of Korea using Microsatellite Marker.

ABSTRACT: The Far Eastern catfish (Silurus asotus) is an important commercial freshwater fish in Korea. Investigation of the genetic diversity of wild and cultured domestic catfish groups is essential for the restoration of fishery resources and for increasing local revenue. However, there are relatively few genetic diversity studies on wild and cultured catfish in Korea. In the present study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and association of wild and cultured catfish using five microsatellite markers. We determined that the number of alleles per locus (N_A ) ranged from 9 to 25, wherein the Jeonbuk catfish demonstrated the highest mean number of alleles per locus and the cultured catfish exhibited the lowest. The average expected heterozygosity (He) of the wild cat
