We developed primers for two dinucleotide and eight tetranucleotide microsatellite loci in a marine fish, the ling ( Molva molva ). All markers were obtained from partial genomic DNA libraries and characterized in 55 unrelated individuals from one putative population. The number of alleles ranged from five to 24 (average 10.5) per locus, and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.218 to 0.981 (average 0.643). No loci amplified in two other gadoid species tested, the Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) and the tusk ( Brosme brosme ).
