Abstract
Genetic structure of golden mullet, Liza aurata, investigated in the Gomishan and Anzali wetlands using six microsatellite primer sets (Muce55, Muce37, Muso10, Muco16, Muso19, and Muso22). Totally 60 samples of adult golden mullet were collected from these regions. All primer sets as polymorphic loci were used to analyze the genetic variation. Analyses revealed that average of alleles (Na) per locus was 5.3 (range 3 to 9 alleles) and in regions, samples of Gomishan wetland 5.1 and Anzali wetland 5.5 respectively. All sampled regions contained private alleles. The average estimates of inbreeding coefficients (Fis and Fit) values of 6 microsatellites were positive. The average observed and expected heterozygosity was in Gomishan wetland 0.153 and 0.721 and Anzali wetland 0.328 and 0.747 respectively. Deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were in all cases (P
