We have isolated 102 polymorphic microsatellite loci from an enriched Murray cod DNA library and also assessed their amplification success in 13 native and six introduced freshwater fish species. The loci will serve the dual purpose of assessing wild population genetic structure for future conservation efforts, and for identifying markers for key quantitative trait loci important for aquaculture.
