Romanian sturgeon populations have declined because of anthropogenic influences. Recent developments in molecular biology allow the detection of intra-and interspecific genetic differences and could ensure an increased ability to characterize and quantify the extent of genetic variation in sturgeon populations. In our study we optimized a protocol for microsatellite PCR multiplex in Huso huso. We designed seven pairs of primers to amplify seven microsatellites in the same multiplex reaction. We
