- Abstract
Salminus brasiliensis, a characin regionally named 'dourado' (meaning goldfish), is the biggest characid fish, this species is cited in a list of fishes that are vulnerable. The goal of the present work was to try to identify, through AFLP technique to convert them into single locus markers ( SCARs), in order to improve the sex identification in S. brasiliensis. Between possible sex-specific AFLP markers in this study, one male-specific were isolated (Les1) and converted into a SCAR marker. Les1 marker was confirmed sex-specific in all samples tested. A sex-specific DNA marker applicable to fish would be very useful for elucidating sex determination mechanism in fish.
