Abstract
[Extract] Nile perch, Lates niloticus, is a commercially important African freshwater species with limited available genetic resources. This study provides 24 polymorphic microsatellite markers for one of the most commercially important fisheries to the African continent validated in L. niloticus. Next-generation sequencing on Roche 454 GS-FLX instrumentation yielded ~122 000 sequences, which have been deposited at the NCBI (Accession no. SRP051308), and allowed the design of primers for 285 in silico perfect microsatellite loci (Table S1). Thirty-one microsatellite loci were tested for polymorphisms. Additionally, 16 microsatellites previously characterised for Lates calcarifer (a sister species) were tested in L. niloticus.
