Study design
The report sampled 32 fish in each of three captive stocks—Green, Red and Golden—and evaluated marker differences with AFLP and microsatellite methods.
Population diversity
In the reported sample, Green had the most microsatellite alleles and Golden the fewest. The study's genetic distances were smaller between Green and Red than between Red and Golden.
What can be inferred
These are sampled captive-stock population comparisons. They cannot authenticate any individual marketed Super Red, Golden Crossback or Green fish.
Practical recordkeeping
For future breeder genealogy work, preserve pedigreed broodstock, individual tag codes, sample date and genetic marker set before inferring a cross-line genetic effect.
