Abstract

A set of 12 microsatellite markers was developed from Embiotoca jacksoni genomic DNA and tested for polymorphism using 64 individuals from two populations. All loci were polymorphic with a number of alleles ranging from two to 19 with expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.17 to 0.89. There was no evidence of linkage disequilibrium and all loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, except for four loci in one population. High numbers of private alleles were consistent with strong population structure, and very limited dispersal. Six microsatellite markers successfully cross amplified and were polymorphic in closely related species, Embiotoca lateralis and Hyspurus caryi.
