Abstract
Thirtytwo polymorphic microsatellite loci were indentified and characterized from the mysid Crustacea Mesopodopsis tenuipes Hanamura et al 2008 The number of observed alleles per locus in 32 individuals collected from its type locality in Malaysia ranged from 2 to 22 The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0031 to 0906 while the expected heterozygosity varied from 0031 to 0943 All loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium no linkage disequilibrium was observed between pairs of loci and no loci showed evidence of null alleles These 32 microsatellite loci could be used in future population genetics study of M tenuipesThis study was conducted in part as a cooperative survey of the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences JIRCAS and the Fisheries Research Institute Malaysia FRI for the mangrove aquatic ecosystem Our thanks goes to Mr Faizul Mohd Kassim for his assistance in the field and Mses Kyoko Yamanoi and Ponthip Goto for their supports in chemical analyses This study was supported in part by a GrantinAid for Scientific Research C20570101 C20580270 C23580340 B22405030 and B22380133 from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
