Thirteen nuclear‐encoded microsatellites from a genomic DNA library of Serra Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus brasiliensis , were isolated and characterized. The microsatellites include 10 perfect repeats (eight tetranucleotide and two dinucleotide) and three imperfect repeats (two tetranucleotide and one dinucleotide). An additional five microsatellites, isolated originally from two congeneric species ( S. cavalla and S. niphonius ), were characterized in S. brasiliensis . Serra Spanish mackerel support artisanal fisheries along the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of Central and South America, from Belize to Brazil.
