摘要

Primers were developed for single-tube genotyping of four genera, Cyprinus, Carassius, Gnathopogon, and Ischikauia. Most of the six species in Lake Biwa belonging to these four genera (one is a native Japanese common carp) are endangered, and two of the six are important fisheries resources. However, many aspects of their reproductive ecology are unclear, because these species spawn similar looking eggs on similar substrates during the same time of year. The molecular method developed here enabled efficient and cost-effective genus-level identification of such eggs, providing a breakthrough for developing effective conservation strategies for these species.
