Microsatellites: Applications in aquaculture
Microsatellites are useful for molecular tagging of individuals and molecular dissection of complex traits such as growth, temperature tolerance and disease resistance.

Assessing stock enhancement for Kuruma shrimp using microsatellite markers in the South China Sea
Stock enhancement of Kuruma shrimp did not change genetic characteristics obtained by microsatellite markers in comparison to the original population.

Improving shrimp stocks with microsatellites
Libraries have been produced from Pacific white shrimp containing many thousands of microsatellites, a source of potential markers for use in diverse applications.

Molecular biology tools applied to selection programs
New molecular biology technologies are complex and expensive but also strongly recommended for any genetic selection program in aquaculture.
