摘要
The marine phytoplankton, Karenia mikimotoi, causes severe red tides which are associated with mass mortality of marine fish, and have expanded their distributions in the coastal waters of western Japan. To assess the dispersal mechanism, a population genetic study using highly polymorphic genetic markers is one of the crucial approaches. Here we developed 12 polymorphic microsatellite markers from K. mikimotoi. These loci provide a class of highly variable genetic markers, as the number of alleles ranged from 5 to 23, and the estimate of gene diversity was from 0.551 to 0.933 across the 12 microsatellites. We consider these loci potentially useful for detailing the genetic structure and gene flow among K. mikimotoi populations.

海洋浮游植物，米氏凯伦藻，导致其与海洋鱼类大量死亡有关，并已在日本西部沿海水域扩大其分布严重的赤潮。为了评估分散机制，用高度多态性遗传标记群体遗传学研究的重要方法之一。在这里，我们开发了12多态微卫星标记的米氏凯伦藻。这些位点提供了一类高度可变的遗传标记，为等位基因数为5〜23，基因多样性的估计是从0.551到0.933横跨12微。我们认为这些位点进行详细说明米氏凯伦藻种群间的遗传结构和基因流可能有用。
