Many species that are in danger of extinction require human support in the form of captive-breeding programs to help maintain their populations in the wild.When breeding in captivity, it is important to select breeding pairs that will create the most genetically diverse progeny. Based on the polymorphism of their microsatellite loci, breeding pairs of diploid land animals have been successfully selected. In this theoretical paper, we asked how to adapt this technique to the selection of spawner pairs for restocking populations of partially tetraploid fish species. To test our calculation techniques, we used actual data on the polymorphism of the loci of captured whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus). The data enabled calculations showing which spawner pairs would create the most genetically diverse cohort of offspring if they were bred. Themethod presented in the paper can be used for breeding fish in aquaculture conditions to help conserve species.

Sturgeons (Acipenseridae) are producers of black caviar, which is sold world-wide. Black caviar differs widely in quality, availability, price and taste and for these reasons it is often the subject of commercial fraud. Identification of sturgeon species is frequently based on molecular methods such as analysis of nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA. In this study two fragments of microsatellite DNA: Afu-39 and Afu-68 were analyzed. In caviar samples, four alleles were observed in locus Afu-39, and six alleles in locus Afu-68. This paper describes the use of microsatellite DNA markers for species identification of black caviar.

Highly variable microsatellite DNA loci show high levels of variation per locus and provide molecular markers for species and for populations of small effective size. In this study we applied microsatellite markers to identify specimens belonging to several sturgeon species and their interspecific hybrids. Nine microsatellite loci (Afu-19, Afu-22, Afu-34, Afu-39, Afu-54, Afu-57, Afu-58, Afu-68, Afu-69) were analysed for five species (beluga, Siberian sturgeon, Russian sturgeon, sterlet and paddlefish) and for their three interspecific hybrids: Siberian sturgeon x Russian sturgeon, beluga x sterlet (called bester) and for beluga x bester. Certain alleles at five loci: Afu-22, Afu-39, Afu-54, Afu-57 and Afu-68 were diagnostic for the examined sturgeon species and their interspecific hybrids.

Genetic relatedness between Baltic Sea sturgeon (Acipenser sturio L.) specimens caught in different geographic areas is not clear. According to previous studies, fish captured in different locations within the historic area of A. sturio habitation are genetically different to each other. We have examined a fragment (191 base pairs) of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of four specimens of A. sturio found in Poland: three fish were preserved in museums of natural history and the bone of one fish was from an archaeological site. DNA sequences of the three museum samples were identical, whereas the DNA sequence of the archaeological sample differed in the 918 position of the cytochrome b gene. All the analyzed DNA fragments were similar to those of Acipenser baeri and genetically distant to Acipenser sturio and A. oxyrinchus.
