Abstract		The original distribution of grayling extends over the middle and northern Europe, from south England to Ural, and from high north (north Scandinavia being an exception) to Montenegro. Grayling inhabits all the main European river systems, i. e. the Danubian, Adriatic, Mediterranean and Atlantic. Its natural distribution is restricted to clean and swiftrunning watercourses with preserved natural habitat. Pronounced phenotypic variation has been often observed among grayling populations, but it is not known whether these differences are genetically or environmentally determined. Due to a constant decline of the population size of native grayling during the last two decades, stocking represents an inevitable conservation action. However, the best donor stocks for supplementary stocking are those that are most closely related to the extirpating populations. Therefore, the development of molecular tools, which will enable unbiased assessment of the relatedness between grayling populations, is an urgent task. In our study we developed first set of microsatellite markers specific for grayling and utilised mtDNA as genetic marker to study genetic variability of European grayling.
