“…Several molecular markers such as alloenzymes (Berrebi et al, 2000), mitochondrial DNA (Snoj et al, 2000), microsatellites (Fumagalli et al, 2002), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD; Jug et al, 2004), and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Harwood and Phillips, 2011) have been used for the discrimination of hybrids and parentage analysis in fish. Although each method has advantages and drawbacks in their application, the microsatellite markers are highly useful because they are abundant, evenly distributed, and highly polymorphic.…”
