The multiplex assay designed in this study can be successfully applied in studies requiring high genetic resolution, such as relatedness analysis, selective breeding programs, and stock identification of Atlantic sturgeon.</p><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13353-014-0216-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Microsatellite loci</kwd><kwd>Multiplex PCR</kwd><kwd>Atlantic sturgeon</kwd><kwd>European sturgeon</kwd></kwd-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© Institute of Plant Genetics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poznan 2014</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1" sec-type="introduction"><title>Introduction</title><p>Atlantic (<italic>Acipenser oxyrinchus</italic>) and European (<italic>A. sturio</italic>) sturgeons belong to the Acipenseridae, considered one of the most endangered fish families (Pikitch et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">2005</xref>; Ludwig <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">2006</xref>). Historically, Atlantic sturgeon inhabited the East Coast of North America, and Western and Central Europe, including the Baltic Sea, whereas the European sturgeon’s habitat was restricted to Western and Southern Europe (Ludwig et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">2002</xref> and <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">2009</xref>; Stankovic <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">2011</xref>; Chassaing et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">2011a</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">2013</xref>). During the last two centuries, the populations of Atlantic and European sturgeons have declined drastically due to river damming, habitat destruction, and overexploitation (Waldman and Wirgin <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">1998</xref>; Vecsei <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">2005</xref>; Ludwig <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">2006</xref>). At present, both species are endangered across the whole of their historical range; in the case of the European sturgeon, only a single population exists, in the Gironde–Garonne–Dordogne watershed (France) (Lassalle et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">2011</xref>). The Atlantic sturgeon became extinct in the wild in Europe in 1996, when the last specimen was captured in the Baltic Sea (Paaver <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">1999</xref>). In Poland, a sturgeon restitution program was launched in 2004 (Kolman et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">2011</xref>). Material from the St. John River has been used to build up broodstock in Poland and to repopulate local rivers (Kolman et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">2011</xref>). These attempts at sturgeon restitution in the Baltic Sea have been followed by genetic monitoring using microsatellite loci to characterize and maintain genetic polymorphism within the established population.</p><p>Microsatellite loci are molecular markers commonly used in population genetics, especially in non-model organisms. The usefulness of these markers lies in their assumed neutrality and high level of polymorphism. In conservation genetics, microsatellite loci have been applied for the determination of management units (MUs), and for planning captive breeding programs and population management (DeSalle and Amato <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">2004</xref>). The number of loci needed to obtain reliable results depends upon the type of analysis required and the genetic variability of the species under study. For strain identification or relatedness analysis, the use of 15–20 markers to obtain sufficient statistical power is recommended (Blouin et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1996</xref>; Norris et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">2000</xref>). Individual amplification and length analysis of so many loci is both time-consuming and expensive; therefore, the development and optimization of multiplex assays, enabling simultaneous amplification and analysis of several loci in a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, is becoming increasingly popular (Zhu et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">2010</xref>; Olafsson et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">2010</xref>; Ciofi et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">2011</xref>). Carefully tested multiplexes allow for the direct comparison of populations studied in different laboratories and for building common databases of genotypes.</p><p>Various sets of microsatellite loci have already been employed to study wild and hatchery populations of Atlantic and European sturgeons (Ludwig et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">2000</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">2008</xref>; King et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">2001</xref>; Wirgin et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">2002</xref>; Henderson et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">2004</xref>; Williot et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">2007</xref>; Tiedemann et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">2011</xref>; Saarinen et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">2011</xref>; Moyer et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">2012</xref>; Waldman et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">2013</xref>; Wirgin et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">2012</xref>). However, no standardized multiplex set is currently available, despite the utility of such an assay for the sturgeon conservation programs which have recently been started in several countries (Henderson et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">2004</xref>; Gessner et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">2011</xref>; Kirschbaum et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">2011</xref>; Kolman et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">2011</xref>). The aim of the present paper was to develop a microsatellite multiplex assay as a standard, cost-effective genotyping tool for the analysis of Atlantic sturgeon populations. The system was successfully tested on several wild and broodstock sturgeon populations, and we further show that the same approach could also be used for the analysis of the European sturgeon species.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2" sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Sampling and DNA extraction</title><p>The material for this study consisted of 255 Atlantic sturgeon specimens from seven wild populations from the St. John, St. Lawrence, Kennebec, Hudson, Savannah, Shark, and Delaware Rivers, and 348 specimens from the broodstock kept in the Kuźniczki and Pieczarki Hatchery Stations in Poland and at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Germany (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>). The broodstock population was composed of nine year classes, each being the progeny of artificially spawned wild individuals originating from the St. John River. As the number of spawners caught and used for reproduction was limited (usually around five to eight, annually), the year classes were mostly composed of siblings and half-siblings. Additionally, 12 wild specimens of European sturgeon from the Gironde population were analyzed (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">1</xref>). DNA was extracted from fin clips preserved in 70 % EtOH. DNA was isolated using proprietary kits [Sherlock AX Kit, Genomic Mini (A&A Biotechnology) or Wizard Kit (Promega)], according to manufacturers’ instructions. DNA was eluted with sterile water and stored at −20°C.</p></sec><sec id="Sec4"><title>Microsatellite selection and multiplex PCR optimization</title><p>Up to 2009, 38 microsatellite loci had been described from Atlantic sturgeon (May et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">1997</xref>; King et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">2001</xref>; Henderson-Arzapalo and King <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">2002</xref>). Of these, we chose 17 loci which had simple, long repeat motifs and which showed the highest polymorphism. These were assigned to four multiplex reactions based on their allele lengths (Supplementary Fig. <xref rid="MOESM3" ref-type="media">1</xref>). Before including different loci in the multiplex assays, their potential for primer dimer or hairpin formation was tested in silico, using FastPCR v.3.8.41 with default parameters (Kalendar et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">2009</xref>). To avoid non-specific amplification, the forward primers for <italic>Aox</italic>D170 and <italic>Ls</italic>-62 were modified (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">2</xref>). The primer concentration was adjusted experimentally to give similar amounts of PCR products which were evaluated on the chromatogram reads. The final amplification reaction volume of 10 μl contained 50–200 ng of DNA, 1× MasterMix (Qiagen Multiplex Kit), and an appropriate concentration of primers, of which the 5′ end of each forward primer was fluorescently labeled (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM2" ref-type="media">2</xref>). The PCR conditions were as follows: initial denaturation of 15 min at 95 °C, 35 cycles of 30 s at 94 °C, 30 s at 63 °C (mixes 1 and 2) or 61 °C (mixes 3 and 4), 30 s at 72 °C, and a final elongation of 30 min at 60 °C. Mixes were loaded onto two autosequencer panels (1 + 2 and 3 + 4). The length reading of PCR products was performed commercially (Oligo.pl, IBB, Warsaw, Poland) on ABI PRISM 377 and 310 automated sequencers with ROX 500 size standard (Applied Biosystems).</p></sec><sec id="Sec5"><title>Data analysis</title><p>Peak Scanner v.1.0 software (Applied Biosystems) was used to bin, score, and output the microsatellite data. Micro-Checker v.2.2.3 (Van Oosterhout et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">2004</xref>) was applied to test for errors due to stuttering, null alleles (A<sub>N</sub>), and large allele dropouts. These analyses were performed for the whole dataset and each of the five most numerous wild populations, using 1,000 randomizations and 95 % confidence interval (CI). The Brookfield 1 (Brookfield <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">1996</xref>) equation was used for null allele frequency estimation. The number of alleles per locus (N<sub>A</sub>) and probability of identity (PI and PIsibs) were calculated using GenAlEx v.6.5 software (Paekal and Smouse <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">2001</xref>), while GENEPOP v.4.0.10 (Raymond and Rousset <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">1995</xref>) was used to calculate the mean null allele frequency (A<sub>N</sub>) using maximum likelihood based on the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm. Observed heterozygosity (H<sub>O</sub>), expected heterozygosity (H<sub>E</sub>), and linkage disequilibrium between pairs of loci using 16,000 permutations were estimated with Arlequin v.3.5.1.2 (Excoffier and Lischer <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">2010</xref>). Linkage analysis was conducted for the five wild populations of sturgeons (excluding Savannah and Delaware, as their population sizes were considered too small). The average non-exclusion probabilities for parentage assignment (NE-1P, NE-2P, and NE-PP) and the polymorphic information Content (PIC) of the studied loci were calculated separately for the wild and hatchery populations using Cervus v.3.0 (Kalinowski et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">2007</xref>).</p></sec></sec><sec id="Sec6" sec-type="results"><title>Results and discussion</title><sec id="Sec7"><title>Multiplex establishment</title><p>The multiplex assay for 17 microsatellite loci was tested on a sample of 603 Atlantic sturgeons from both wild and hatchery populations (Tables <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref> and <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>).

As expected, all indices of genetic polymorphism were lower for the hatchery population than for wild fish, presumably as a result of using a limited number of spawners for reproduction (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). Despite that, the PI values were still sufficiently high to distinguish even highly related individuals. The same was true also for the paternity analysis, where non-exclusion probabilities had very low values, minimizing the probability of errors of false parent identification.

Five loci were identified which can be used for the detection of introgression between the two sturgeon species. The designed multiplex assay has already been applied in practice and will be used for creating a pedigree book and optimal cross design for the broodstock of Atlantic sturgeon during its reintroduction in Poland (Stankovic <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">2011</xref>).</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><sec id="Sec12"><p>Below are the links to the electronic supplementary material.<supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM1"><media xlink:href="13353_2014_216_MOESM1_ESM.pdf"><label>Supplementary Table 1</label><caption><p>(PDF 165 kb)</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM2"><media xlink:href="13353_2014_216_MOESM2_ESM.pdf"><label>Supplementary Table 2</label><caption><p>(PDF 242 kb)</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="MOESM3"><media xlink:href="13353_2014_216_MOESM3_ESM.pdf"><label>Supplementary Fig. 1</label><caption><p>Multiplex PCR loading panels showing allele size range and colors assigned to microsatellite primers labeled with 6-FAM, Hex, and TAMRA for the 603 analyzed specimens of Atlantic sturgeon.
