In the present study, twenty-two microsatellites was developed for Amur sturgeon
(Acipenser schrenckii). All of them were polymorphic with 2 to 7 alleles per locus and the
total number of alleles is 106. The expected heterozygosity (HE), observed heterozygosity
(HO), polymorphic information content (PIC), Hardy-Weinberg departure value (d) and
Shannon-Weiner Diversity Indices (H') ranged from 0.35 to 0.84, from 0.46 to 1, from 0.29 to
0.82, from 0.14 to 0.49, and from 0.53 to 1.89 respectively. The microsatellites described
here should be useful for the research in population genetics, conservation genetics and
evolution of Amur sturgeon.
