“…Therefore, microsatellites have become the marker of choice for gene studies and genome evolution for all taxa. Many studies have examined the genetics of salmonid fishes using microsatellite markers in recent years (Kordichevaet al, 2010;Khrustaleva, Volkov, Stocklitskaya, Mugue, & Zelenina, 2010;Afanasiev, Rubtsova, Shitova, Shaĭkhaev, & Zhivotovskii, 2011;Shaikhaev & Zhivotovsky, 2014;Rubtsovaet al, 2016); however, many microsatellite sequences in GenBank for T. arcticus grubei are still unknown. We must screen for more polymorphic microsatellite markers in T. arcticus grubei in order to improve fine-scale population structure, stock management and enhancement, genetic linkage map construction, and molecular marker-assisted breeding.…”
