Abstract

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from a (CA) n-enrichment library of the whitegirdled goby (Pterogobius zonoleucus). Polymorphism at these loci ranged from 2 to 12 alleles, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.05 to 0.90 and from 0.05 and 0.86, respectively. All loci conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with no significant linkage disequilibrium between all locus pairs. Cross-species amplification tests were successful in P. elapoides, and most loci were polymorphic. These microsatellite markers will be useful in further population genetic studies of both species.
