Abstract

We developed non-dinucleotide-repeat microsatellite markers for the Schlegel’s black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii. The so-called 454 pyrosequencing was used for the discovery of repeat arrays. Of 30 microsatellite primer sets, 17 sets worked well for the estimation of polymorphisms. Pentanucleotide-type markers showed a lower variability compared with tri- and tetranucleotide-type markers. The results of simulation-based parentage allocation suggest that these markers will be of great use for reconstructing parentages.
