Abstract

Nine tetranucleotide microsatellite loci developed for Atlantic herring are presented. Loci were isolated using a magnetic bead hybridization selection protocol that yielded an 80% enrichment for tetranucleotide microsatellites. Fifty Atlantic herring from each of a North-west and North-east Atlantic spawning group were screened at each locus. Loci were polymorphic (12-56 alleles per locus) and exhibited high levels of observed heterozygosity (0.66-0.98). These loci are therefore suitable for population studies and the analysis of mating.
