Dispersal capacity and genetic structure of Arapaima gigas on different geographic scales using microsatellite markers.

Despite the ecological and economic importance of the Arapaima gigas (Cuvier 1817), few data about its dispersal capacity are available. The present study was based on the analysis of microsatellite markers in order to estimate the dispersal capacity of the species on fine, meso, and large geographi...
