GENETIC STRUCTURE AMONG FOUR POPULATIONS OF PADDLEFISH, POLYODON SPATHULA (ACTINOPTERYGII: ACIPENSERIFORMES: POLYODONTIDAE), BASED ON DISOMIC MICROSATELLITE MARKERS

Genetic structure among four populations of paddlefish, Polyodon spathula (Actinopterygii: Acipenseriformes: Polyodontidae), based on disomic microsatellite markers

Background.The paddlefish, Polyodon spathula (Walbaum, 1792), is an important species for commercial and read more recreational fisheries throughout the central United States.Populations have declined in many areas due to river modification, loss of spawning habitat, pollution, and over-exploitation.Assessing genetic diversity of a species is an im
