Abstract
We describe the isolation and characterization of eight microsatellite loci from whisker sheatfish (Micronema bleekeri Gunther, 1864). Genetic variability was assessed using 35 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to four. The observed heterozygosity (H o) ranged from 0.072 to 0.637, whereas the expected heterozygosity (H e) ranged from 0.174 to 0.725. All loci conformed to the Hardy–Weinberg expectation (HWE). Linkage disequilibrium was not significant for any pair of loci. These loci should prove useful for population genetic studies of whisker sheatfish and other siluriforme species.
