We report 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci developed from the freshwater prawn Palaemon paucidens . Their genetic characteristics were assessed in 48 individuals selected from six Korean populations. The number of alleles ranged from two to 21, and the observed and expected heterozygosities were between 0.13 and 0.83, and 0.46 and 0.95, respectively. We examined the cross‐specific amplification of each locus in three species of palaemonid prawn and one species of atyid prawn.
