Abstract

We report the development of 13 variable microsatellite loci for the Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides). In a sample of 72 individuals from Western Greenland we report heterozygosities ranging from 0.15 to 1.0 (observed) and 0.14 to 0.97 (expected). One locus was found to have a low frequency of null alleles (0.065), all others are in HWE and no evidence of linkage disequilibrium among loci was found.
