Characterization of 23 Tri- and tetranucleotide Microsatellite Loci in the Brown Tiger Prawn, Penaeus esculentus

Twenty‐three unique tri and tetra‐nucleotide microsatellites were isolated and characterized from the genome of the brown tiger prawn Penaeus esculentus. Nine of the 23 microsatellite loci were found to be polymorphic and were tested across a sample of wild caught Penaeus esculentus. Good fits to Ha...

Description
Summary:Twenty‐three unique tri and tetra‐nucleotide microsatellites were isolated and characterized from the genome of the brown tiger prawn Penaeus esculentus. Nine of the 23 microsatellite loci were found to be polymorphic and were tested across a sample of wild caught Penaeus esculentus. Good fits to Hardy–Weinberg expectations were observed for six of the markers when tested in a population of at least 180 individuals. The total number of alleles for these six markers ranged from eight to 19, with an average total of 13. These values will make them useful for future stock identification and population genetics studies.
