Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba is a pelagic crustacean, abundant in high-density swarms (10,000 - 30,000 ind/m2) with a circumpolar distribution and a key role in the food web of the Southern Ocean. Only three EST derived microsatellite markers have been used in previous genetic studies, hence we developed additional highly polymorphic microsatellite markers to allow robust studies of the...
