Popis: Microsatellite DNA variation was examined at 11 loci in five populations of Florida largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides floridanus (N = 175) and eight populations of northern largemouth bass M. s. salmoides (N = 249). Distinct allele frequencies with 33 private alleles between subspecies (threshold frequency, ≥0.05) and 19 private alleles among three geographic regions distinguished between Florida largemouth bass and northern largemouth bass as well as between northern largemouth bass from northern and southern latitudes in North America. Variation at microsatellite loci also provided sufficient resolution to discriminate among some populations within regions. Allele frequencies indicated that of 37 trophy bass (defined here as fish weighing 5.90 kg or more) donated to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) between 2004 and 2005, all had more than 50% Florida largemouth bass influence with ancestry genetically similar to that of populations sampled in western Florida. Some fish (N = 24...
