Abstract
Short barbeled grunter, Hapalogenys nitens, is an important fishery resource and it has been regarded as a target marine fish species for prospective aquaculture diversification in Korea, but sustainable fry production is not yet possible. This delay has led to an increase in the need for genetic information about this species. Furthermore, it is necessary to conserve the wild stocks for the sustainable use of the species. In this study, we report 26 novel polymorphic microsatellites with a mean of 4.9 alleles per locus. The mean observed and expected heterozygosity per locus was 0.45 and 0.50, respectively. Cross-amplification revealed variability in others two Haemulidae species. These markers developed can be a valuable tool for conservation genetics and further genetic improvement of these species.
