Augustus,

We have recently had a paper accepted in Molecular Ecology on cross species
comparison of microsatellite markers for several species of tropical
serranids, lutjanids and lethrinids.
"Microsatellite markers for coral trout (Plectropomus laevis) and red throat
emperor (Lethrinus miniatus) and their general utility in other species of
reef fish."  Lynne van Herwerden1,3, John Benzie1, Lesa Peplow1 and Campbell
Davies2

I believe it should be coming out in the next issue. If you want to follow
this up further contact Lynne van Herwerden ([log in to unmask]).

I'd be interested in hearing more about you work.

Cheers

Subject:        Universal Primers in Serranids

    If anyone has any information or pertinent references, I am looking for
PCR primer sequences (d-loop, for example) that have been successfully used
for population studies in Serranids.  So far have found allozymes, RFLPs and
a little with cytB, but not much more.
Thanks for your time,
