L. F. Sun, Li, J., Liang, X. F., Yi, T. L., Fang, L., Sun, J., He, Y. H., Luo, X. N., Dou, Y. Q., and Yang, M., Microsatellite DNA markers and their correlation with growth traits in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi), vol. 14, pp. 19128-19135, 2015.

The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a traditionally cultured freshwater fish with high commercial value in China. To facilitate marker-assisted selection in genetic improvement of this species, 120 microsatellite markers from the literature were characterized in the 25 largest and 25 smallest individuals. Eighteen polymorphic loci were then used to genotype 200 individuals, and the associations between their genotypes and growth traits were examined.
