Seventeen polymorphic microsatellite markers developed  for the Javelin goby, Synechogobius hasta (Gobiidae).
Synechogobius hasta is an important commercial marine fish with  distinctive features of rapid growth and short lifespan. We isolated and  characterized 17 microsatellite markers for S. hasta using a (GT)(13)-enriched  genomic library. Polymorphism was assessed in 48 individuals from a single  population collected from the northern coastal waters of the Yellow Sea. The  number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 23, with a mean of 11.3. The  observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.130 to 1.000 and from  0.123 to 0.939, with means of 0.758 and 0.774, respectively. Fourteen of 17  loci conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no significant linkage  disequilibrium between locus pairs was detected. These microsatellite markers  will be useful for population genetic structure analyses.
