title = "Isolation and characterization of twelve microsatellite loci for the Japanese Devilray (Mobula japanica)",
abstract = "Twelve polymorphic microsatellites loci were characterized for Mobula japanica (Japanese Devilray) using an enrichment protocol. All but two loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with no evidence of linkage disequilibrium or null-alleles for a sample of 40 individuals from two populations. The number of alleles varied from 5 to 28. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.2332 to 0.9589, making these microsatellite loci good candidates for population genetic studies.",
