- Abstract
The stock abundance of the chub mackerel Scomber japonicus — a very important species for fisheries, particularly in Japan — in the Pacific Ocean off Japan has remained at a low level. For studying the population genetics of the chub mackerel, we isolated nine polymorphic microsatellite loci (12–31 alleles/locus; expected heterozygosity, 0.762–0.983) from this species. Cross-species amplification indicated that eight of the nine microsatellite loci in the blue mackerel S. australasicus were polymorphic and functional.
