Popis: Six microsatellite loci were identified and characterized in the eastern form of the widespread and commercially important giant freshwater prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ). The loci were detected by randomly screening for dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeat units within a partial genomic library developed for the species. In a sample of 29 prawns, number of alleles and heterozygosity per locus ranged from 12 to 18 and from 0.66 to 0.90, respectively. These markers provide powerful tools for the conservation and management of wild stocks, the improvement of cultured stocks of M. rosenbergii , and for investigating evolutionary processes underlying genetic divergence among populations.
