L. Lin, Zhu, L., Liu, S. - F., Tang, Q. - S., Su, Y. - Q., and Zhuang, Z. - M., Polymorphic microsatellite loci for Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius), vol. 11. pp. 1205-1208, 2012.

We isolated and characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci in Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. Forty individuals were collected from Qingdao, China. We found 3 to 24 alleles per locus, with a mean of 8.8. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.263 to 0.975 and from 0.385 to 0.946, with means of 0.655 and 0.685, respectively. Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg proportions was detected at three loci. Two loci showed evidence for null alleles.
