Abstract
Twenty microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized in the ariake icefish (Salanx ariakensis kishinouye). Analysis of 28 individuals from a single population revealed an average of 17.75 alleles per locus, which ranged from 8 to 26. The mean observed and expected heterozygosity (H O and H E) were 0.8410 and 0.9262, respectively. The average polymorphism information content was 0.8973, ranging from 0.7824 to 0.9521. These newly isolated markers will be useful in analyzing genetic diversity and genetic relations between the ariake icefish and its relatives.
