Abstract Eighteen polymorphic microsatellite loci from the giant mottled eel ( Anguilla marmorata ) were identified and their characteristics were described. These markers were tested in two wild populations from China ( n = 20) and Australia ( n = 20) respectively. The number of alleles ranged from 9 to 14 with an average of 11.28 per locus. The mean expected heterozygosity ( H E ) was 0.8696 in the population from China, 0.8823 in the population from Australia. No locus deviates significantly from Hardy–Weinberg proportions ( P < 0.05).
