Using seven pairs of microsatellite markers we studied the relationship between the size of the the candidate groups and the microsatellite paternity testing accuracy by separate breed or the microsatellite paternity appraisal ability by mixed breed. By computer software analysis, the appraisal ability decreased with the candidate groups increase. For the 81 putative parents the microsatellite paternity testing accuracy was 80% and the microsatellite paternity appraisal ability was 78.9%; for the 9 putative parents, the testing accuracy was 93.3% and the appraisal ability was 92.2%. The results indicated that the microsatellite DNA markers can be used for the parentage determination of Hucho taimen Pallas.
