Twenty polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from an enriched genomic library of Alburnus chalcoides. The polymorphism of these loci was tested on a population of 15 individuals from the Aral Sea, Uzbekistan. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 3. The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.2077-.6720 to 0.1662-.6837, respectively. One locus (CCA147) deviated from the Hardy–Weinberg expectations (P?<?0.05) after Bonferroni correction. The polymorphic information content (PIC) for allelic diversity ranged from 0.12 to 0.8067 with 9 of these 20 loci revealing moderately high information content (PIC?>?0.50). These loci will provide insights into species genetic diversity, population structure, and conservation strategy design.
