Distribution of 12 mono-, di- and tri-nucleotide microsatellites on the chromosomes of 2 karyomorphs with 2 distinct sex chromosome systems (a simple XX/XY – karyomorph B and a multiple X 1 X 1 X 2 X 2 /X 1 X 2 Y – karyomorph D) in Hoplias malabaricus, commonly referred to as wolf fish, was studied...
