Abstract
Japanese huchen, Hucho perryi, is an endangered fish in Japan. In order to promote a conservation program for this species, it is necessary to evaluate its genetic diversity and population genetics. For this purpose, we designed 15 primers containing dinucleotide microsatellite regions and examined their allelic variation using a total of 23 wild individuals collected from two different localities. Eight loci showed moderate allelic variation ranging from two to four alleles, with expected heterozygosities from 0.043 to 0.548. These markers will be useful for the assessment of genetic variation for this species.
