Abstract:
Twelve new microsatellite markers were isolated by sequencing random clones from a genomic library of Fenneropenaeus chinensis. The number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 15. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.568 to 0.898, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.344 to 0.882 and from 0.691 to 0.915, respectively. All loci except one conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These markers, described here for Chinese shrimp, will be further used to analyse the species' population genetics.
