Thirty-six microsatellite markers were isolated from an enriched genomic library of tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) and characterized in 20 individuals each for yellowfin grouper (Mycteroperca venenosa), coney (Cephalopholis fulva), and red hind (Epinephelus guttatus). The microsatellites include 23 dinucleotide repeats, twelve trinucleotide repeats, and one tetranucleotide repeat. The microsatellites characterized in this study will be useful for further evaluation of population-genetic indices in the economically important subfamily Epinephelinae.
