Eleven microsatellites were isolated from a genomic DNA library enriched for CA‐ and GA‐repeats, and were characterized in 48 individuals of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii . All 11 microsatellites were polymorphic with an average of allele number of 6.6 per locus. Genotypic distributions of these 11 markers were found to be in conformance with the expectations of Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. All 11 markers were unlinked. These markers are being used to study the invasion routine, genetic diversity and population structure of the species P. clarkii .
