Microsatellite Analysis of Five Populations of (Borodin, 1904) Across the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea.

Genetic diversity studies are essential in characterization of populations and species conservation. is a commercially valuable species native to the Caspian Sea. It is thought to have eight to nine subspecies, but the genetics of these populations remains to be investigated.

Comparison of genetic variation of wild and farmed Bream () using microsatellite markers.

Bream () is one of the most commercially valuable fish in the Caspian Sea. The aim of this study was to compare levels of genetic polymorphism between wild and farmed Bream populations using seven microsatellite loci. Genetic diversity was investigated by studying samples collected from two regions; Chaboksar and the Artificial Propagation Center of Guilan province.
