Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

Microsatellites represent codominant molecular genetic markers, which are ubiquitously
distributed within genomes. Due to their high level of polymorphism, relatively small size and …

Summary The European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) is a marine fish of key economic
and cultural importance in Europe. It is now more an aquaculture than a fisheries species (> …

For the last 30 years, attempts have been made to discriminate among fish populations by
using molecular markers. Although some techniques have proved successful in certain …

In a project on the biodiversity of chickens funded by the European Commission (EC), eight
laboratories collaborated to assess the genetic variation within and between 52 populations …

Microsatellite markers of the poly (CA) type in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) are
described. Clones containing a (CA) repeat were isolated from a common carp genomic …

The genetics of marine populations is a subject that has made little progress compared with
the effort spent on the terrestrial environment. This is so despite “applied” aspects such as …

We studied the genetic structure at six microsatellite loci of the Mediterranean sea bass
(Dicentrarchus labrax) on 19 samples collected from different localities in the western and …

We report on the genetic differentiation among populations of the common (or European)
sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) from the North Sea, Britanny, Portugal, Morocco, the …

Chicken genetic resources comprise a wide range of breeds and populations including red
jungle fowl (the assumed progenitor of all domestic breeds), native and fancy breeds, middle …
