Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a microsatellite DNA-enriched DNA library for the leopard coralgrouper ( Plectropomus leopardus Lacepède, 1802), a popular food fish in the East Indies. These loci showed polymorphism information content ranging from 0.493 to 0.854, allele numbers ranging from 3 to 10, effective allele numbers ranging from 2.2 to 7.6, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.375 to 0.906 and 0.544 to 0.868 respectively. Thus, we expect that these markers will be useful for population genetic and breeding studies of the leopard coralgrouper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci without linkage disequilibrium were isolated and characterized from a microsatellite DNA-enriched DNA library for the whitespotted bamboo shark ( Chiloscyllium plagiosum Bennett, 1830). These loci show polymorphism information content ranging from 0.384 to 0.885, allele number ranging from 4 to 12, effective allele number ranging from 1.686 to 9.438, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.229 to 1.000 and from 0.407 to 0.894 respectively. Four loci show strong Hardy–Weinberg deviations. We expect that these markers would be useful for population genetic and breeding studies of the whitespotted bamboo shark. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using a small insert genomic DNA library for the giant grouper ( Epinephelus lanceolatus Bloch, 1790), a commercially valuable marine fish in tropical waters. They showed polymorphism information content ranging from 0.177 to 0.775, allele numbers ranging from two to 10, effective allele numbers ranging from 1.227 to 5.012, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.2 to 0.733 and from 0.185 to 0.801, respectively, which we anticipate will be useful for population genetic studies of the giant grouper.
