We isolated and characterized 52 novel microsatellite markers from Florida largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides floridanus , for use in conservation, management and population genetic studies. Markers were assessed in M. s. floridanus from peninsular Florida ( n = 30) and averaged eight alleles per locus with observed heterozygosity of 0.57 (range 0–0.97). Cross‐taxa amplification was successful among 88% of tested congeners. These polymorphic and potentially taxon‐diagnostic markers contribute to the limited number of microsatellites currently available for micropterids and specifically M. s. floridanus .
