Abstract: | The finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, is endemic to the coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, ranging from the Persian Gulf to Japan. Nine tetranucleotide microsatellite
loci were isolated from the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides). Polymorphism of each locus was assessed in 39 unrelated individuals from the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea of the
Chinese waters. The number of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 11. The ranges of observed and expected heterozygosity were
0.154–0.795 and 0.146–0.839, respectively. Cross-species amplification of these loci was tested in other cetacean species.
These microsatellite markers described here will be suitable for population genetic studies of finless porpoises and other
cetacean species. |
