Abstract Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from a microsatellite DNA‐enriched DNA library for the leopard coralgrouper ( Plectropomus leopardus Lacepède, 1802), a popular food fish in the East Indies. These loci showed polymorphism information content ranging from 0.493 to 0.854, allele numbers ranging from 3 to 10, effective allele numbers ranging from 2.2 to 7.6, and observed and expected heterozygosities from 0.375 to 0.906 and 0.544 to 0.868 respectively. Thus, we expect that these markers will be useful for population genetic and breeding studies of the leopard coralgrouper.
