Eight polymorphic nuclear microsatellite loci were identified from the invasive Indo-Pacific Mediterranean strain of Asparagopsis taxiformis. Microsatellite markers were tested against a panel of specimens collected along the Italian (Elba, Naples) and Californian (Catalina Island) coasts, all belonging to the same mitochondrial lineage. In addition, we used Hawaiian specimens, belonging to a closely related...
