Abstract: | To assist in the domestication of the sole fish Solea senegalensis, 15 microsatellites were developed from its genome (13 di‐ and two trinucleotide). These loci, along with three from S. solea that cross‐amplified, were characterized on a sample of 20 individuals of S. senegalensis from a hatchery stock. All loci were polymorphic displaying from two to 15 alleles/locus (mean 6.5). The results obtained from the hatchery population screening indicate that they might be useful for studies of genetic structuring and/or kinship analysis in S. senegalensis. |
