Abstract

Using 8 microsatellite markers (Spl-106, Spl-101, ATR-113, Aox23, An20, AoxD161, AoxD165, AfuG41) and mtDNA species-specific region flanked by the tRNAThr coding region and D-loop, it was found that Atlantic sturgeon stocking material planned for transport from Poland to Belarus belonged to the species Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus Mitchill. No interspecific hybrids were found. All of the Atlantic sturgeon individuals examined as part of this study belonged to a Canadian population.
