Abstract

Microsatellite loci are one category of genetic markers that are frequently highly polymorphic. As such they have proved to be extremely useful tools for examining the population biology of many different taxa, and offer the potential to discriminate among fish stocks. Here, four new polymorphic microsatellite loci in the European plaice, Pleuronectes platessa are reported. In addition, data are provided on the utility of all published plaice microsatellite loci in flounder (P. flesus), lemon sole (Microstomus kitt) and Dover sole (Solea solea).
