Abstract
We tested the amplification potential of 8 microsatellites initially described for Odontesthes perugiae and O. argentinensis in 3 species of Odontesthes and 4 species of Basilichthys. Most of the microsatellites amplified and showed polymorphism; thus they will be useful in genetic conservation plans for these species.
