The dataset contains individual diploid genotypes for 11 microsatellite markers screened in 21 population samples of the seaweed Saccharina latissima along the coast of Norway between August 2016 and June 2018. The data is associated with the article: Ribeiro PA, Næss, T, Dahle G, Asplin L, Meland K, Fredriksen S, Sjøtun K (2022). Going with the flow – population genetics of the kelp Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales) in Norway. Frontiers in Marine Science (submitted for review). Article abstract: Saccharina latissima is the most important habitat-forming kelp in sheltered areas of North-Atlantic, and there is also an increasing interest in cultivation and utilization of S. latissima. The cultivation activity may introduce a risk of “crop-to-wild” gene flow from the cultivated crops to natural populations. A baseline study to examine genetic structure and gene flow in S. latissima along the Norwegian coast was therefore done. Microsatellite analyses was carried out on samples from 21 stations, ...
