Abstract

Rapana venosa is a commercially important mollusk species, but has been suffering from severe population decline due to over-exploitation and habitat destruction in China. The first set of 23 polymorphic microsatellite loci was isolated and characterized for population studies. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 17, and the observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.167 to 1.000 and from 0.455 to 0.924, respectively. These microsatellite loci will be useful tools for fisheries management and conservation programme for this species.
