The major aim of this study is to describe the first microsatellite loci for thestone-crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium), by cross-speciesamplification. Austropotamobius torrentium is a priority species in theEU Habitats Directive and it needs effective conservation management efforts throughoutEurope. We tested cross-species amplification of 55 decapod microsatellite primer pairs inA. torrentium and only ten of these loci, from relatively close relatedspecies, yielded PCR products of expected sizes. Five of the ten microsatellites proved tobe polymorphic (allele numbers ranging from 4 to 14 in a set of 35 individuals). Three ofthe loci exhibited departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium which could be explained bythe presence of null alleles. A forth locus exhibiting HWE deviation, butno null alleles, suggest the possible presence of population substructure of the speciesin the investigated area. These microsatellite markers are useful for population geneticstudies of stone-crayfish
