Abstract

To investigate the genetic structure of Octopus minor, 12 microsatellite DNA markers were developed firstly and polymorphism of each locus was assessed in a wild O. minor population. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11, and the observed and expected heterozygosities varied from 0.200 to 1.000 and from 0.235 to 0.869, respectively. These microsatellite loci will be a useful tool in the study of population genetic structure of this species in future.
