Abstract

Twenty-three polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed and characterized for Fenneropenaeus merguiensis in this study. The number of alleles varied from 3 to 16. The observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.2188 to 1.0000 and 0.4430 to 0.8819, respectively. Four loci showed moderate polymorphism (0.25 0.5). Five loci deviated from Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium. The set of markers described here will constitute efficient tools for the conservation genetic study of F. merguiensis.
