Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers and the population genetic structure of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty
Microsatellite markers for the half-fin anchovy Setipinna taty were developed from the enriched (CA)15 genomic library, and they were used for the population genetic studies of the half-fin anchovy from Chinese coastal areas. Samples were collected from five localities of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Eleven simple sequence repeat markers were used to assess genetic differentiation in 30 individuals at each locality. As a result, 59 alleles were recorded over all loci with an average of 5.36 alleles per locus.
