Tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellites in dhufish Glaucosoma hebracium (Perciformes)

Thirteen polymorphic tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers are reported for the exploited marine dhufish (Glaucosoma hebracium) from southwestern Australia. Variation was assessed among 48 individuals collected from a single locality. Most loci had 2-5 alleles, although one had more than 20 alleles, with corresponding observed heterozygosities of 0.02-0.81. These loci were also polymorphic in congeneric species.
