Abstract
Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated for the Awaous guamensis an amphidromous gobiid common to the Hawai’ian islands The loci show a moderate to high degree of allelic diversity and observed levels of heterozygosity ranged from 013 to 087 Most loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium HWE and showed little evidence of linkage disequilibrium LD Our results indicate that all of the markers will be useful for assessing gene flow and population structure among evolutionary lineages of A guamensis and many could be useful for similar studies of congeners and other species native to Hawai’i
