Abstract

We developed and characterised 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci for Pteria penguin (Roding, 1798), an important pearl oyster species for pearl production in China. The number of observed alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 26 within 46 individuals. The observed and expected heterozygosities per locus ranged from 0.2 to 0.925 and 0.707 to 0.945, respectively. The polymorphism information content values per locus ranged from 0.656 to 0.929. Ten loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no significant linkage disequilibrium was detected between loci. These new microsatellite markers will be useful for population and conservation genetic studies of P. penguin.
