Isolation and characterization of ten microsatellite markers of Fenneropenaeus penicillatus

摘要

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci in Fenneropenaeus penicillatus were isolated and characterized. Microsatellite polymorphism was tested by using 30 individuals from one wild population. The results showed that the number of alleles per locus and the polymorphism Information Content ranging from 3 to 7 and from 0.1813 to 0.6087, respectively. The observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.1379–0.2727 and 0.1308–0.5597, respectively. The loci identified in this study could provide a useful tool for ongoing population genetic structure analysis of F. penicillatus.
