Microsatellite loci from Neotropical migratory fish Prochilodus costatus

This project is the first study to investigate the genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow (migration) of the Neotropical migratory fish Prochilodus costatus in the Três Marias dam in São Francisco River basin, Brazil, using high-throughput genotyping and population genetics approaches. In total, 1,017 specimens were sampled from 12 sites during 4 hydrological years and from broodfish used in a fish stocking program, and genotyped with 8 microsatellite loci. Here we make available the 1017 raw sequence reads.
