Twelve polymorphic microsatellites from the (AG)13 and (CA)13 enriched genomic libraries of Miichthys miiuy were isolated and characterized in a test population; the number of alleles ranged from two to nine. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.1923 to 1.0000 and from 0.2633 to 0.8337, respectively. Three loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and linkage disequilibrium between five pairs of loci was significant. These polymorphic microsatellite loci can be used for genetic diversity analysis and molecular-assisted breeding of M. miiuy.
