ABSTRACT: Four highly variable microsatellite loci, Acs1*, Acs3*, Acs4* and Acs9*, were isolated and then used to investigate genetic diversity and population structure in black sea bream, Acantho-pagrus schlegeli, collected from wild populations of six locations (western Japan and southern Korea), and hatchery stock and post-stock populations from Hiroshima Bay. When allelic segregation of each microsatellite locus was examined using the single spawning pair and their progeny, all loci were well fitted to the Mendelian manner of inheritance. The genetic variations at these loci in the eight populations revealed high levels of variability. In the wild populations the mean number of alleles per locus was 10.8-13.5, and the mean observed hetrozygosity was 0.755-0.828. In contrast, these values in hatchery stock population were 10.0 and 0.776, respectively. Genetic distance indicates the existence of geographic divergence between western Japan and south Korea, and little genetic differentiation among populations in western Japan.
