Abstract

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in the dark pomfret (Pampus cinereus), an important commercial foodfish species. The mean number of observed alleles per locus was 21 (range 13–33). Observed and expected heterozygosity values ranged from 0.73 to 0.98 and from 0.83 to 0.97 respectively. Two loci showed significant departure from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and significant linkage disequilibrium was found between P15-2 and P230. These highly informative microsatellite markers should be useful for population genetic analyses of P. cinereus and other pomfret species.
