    <attracc>
      <attraccr>Genotyping error rates are expected to be very low. A positive control sample was included on each plate to check for success of PCR amplification and correct binning in fragment analysis software. A negative control sample was included on each plate to check for contamination of PCR products .All microsatellite scoring was automated and then checked by experienced laboratory personnel. PCR was performed again on all samples with missing data due to weak or unamplified alleles. PCR amplifications that had to be repeated were done with single loci and not in a multiplexed PCR. All Genemapper files were double-checked for scoring errors.</attraccr>

        <procdesc>DNA was extracted from preserved Atlantic sturgeon fin clips at the U.S. Geological Survey Eastern Ecological Science Center (USGS-EESC) in Kearneysville, WV. Whole genomic DNA was extracted from tissue samples using the Qiagen Blood and Tissue extraction kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). All samples were screened for 12 Atlantic Sturgeon microsatellite loci (LS19, LS39, LS54, LS68, Aox12, Aox23, Aox45, AoxD170, AoxD188, AoxD165, AoxD44, AoxD241)</procdesc>
