Eight microsatellite loci in Clark's anemonefish,Amphiprion clarkii

To determine the genetic relationship between different colour morphs (orange and black morphs) of Clark's anemonefish (Amphiprion clarkii) in Taiwan, we isolated eight polymorphic microsatellite loci. A large number of alleles (range, 6–30), and high levels of observed heterozygosity (range, 0.1231–0.8358) were resolved in 71 individuals from two populations, indicating that these markers should be useful in assessing the relationship between the two colour morphs of A. clarkii.
