Abstract
Sauger (Sander canadensis) and walleye (Sander vitreus) are closely related North American fish species that are often managed by fishery agencies throughout their ranges. However, genotyping resources for sauger are presently limited to a small set of microsatellite loci. We evaluated whether primers in an existing walleye genotyping-in-thousands panel could amplify single nucleotide polymorphism loci (SNPs) in sauger. We identified 71 primer pairs that amplify 118 SNPs in both species. Allele frequency differences were large enough to confidently distinguish the species and identify hybrids. Additionally, we identified 41 loci with observed heterozygosity > 0.1 in sauger; these markers may be useful for simple population genetic analyses and parentage analysis when few contributors are present and for differentiating highly structured populations.
