Ten novel polymorphic dinucleotide microsatellite loci cloned from the Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella

Ten new dinucleotide microsatellite loci were isolated from the Antarctic fur seal Arcto-cephalus gazella. These markers should prove useful for studying the reproductive ecology of Antarctic fur seals and other related pinniped species.
