Abstract

Twenty-six, polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the tropical sea urchin Colobocentrotus atratus. Microsatellite enriched genomic libraries were constructed and subsequently sequenced using Roche 454 technology. The 26 loci were characterized in 21 individuals from Pulau Asu, Nias, Indonesia. Observed levels of heterozygosity ranged from 0.52 to 1.00 with a mean of 11.9 alleles per locus. No pairs of loci showed evidence of significant linkage disequilibrium and 3 loci significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg expectations.
