Résumé

Ten tetranucleotide microsatellite loci are described for the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus. Loci were polymorphic (4-15 alleles per locus) and exhibited high levels of expected (0.553-0.921) and observed heterozygosity (0.469-0.906) from samples caught off Belize and Puerto Rico coasts. No significant departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium conditions were observed for any locus. All microsatellite loci should be useful for assessing population discrimination for this valuable marine animal currently subjected to excessive fishing efforts.
