Isolation and characterization of eight microsatellite loci for white hake ( Urophycis tenuis)

Abstract Eight tetranucleotide microsatellite loci were characterized for white hake, Urophycis tenuis , a commercially exploited demersal gadoid fish distributed in the Northwest Atlantic. The eight loci are polymorphic with number of alleles and observed heterozygosities ranging from seven to 40 a...

Description
Summary:Abstract Eight tetranucleotide microsatellite loci were characterized for white hake, Urophycis tenuis , a commercially exploited demersal gadoid fish distributed in the Northwest Atlantic. The eight loci are polymorphic with number of alleles and observed heterozygosities ranging from seven to 40 and from 0.544 to 0.978, respectively, in samples of between 39 and 47 individuals collected from throughout the species range. These loci were developed for population genetic studies.
