BackgroundShark species are overfished at a global scale, as they are poached for the finning industry or are caught as bycatch. Efficient conservation measures require fine-scale spatial and temporal studies to characterize shark habitat use, infer migratory habits, analyze relatedness, and detect population genetic differentiation. Gathering these types of data is costly and time-consuming, especially when it requires collection of shark tissue samples.Methods and resultsGenetic tools, such as microsatellite markers, are the most economical sampling method for collecting genetic data, as they enable the estimation of genetic diversity, population structure and parentage relationships and are thus an efficient way to inform conservation strategies. Here, a set of 45 microsatellite loci was tested on three blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) populations from three Polynesian islands: Moorea, Morane and Tenararo. The set was composed of 10 previously published microsatellite markers and 35 microsatellite markers that were developed specifically for C. melanopterus as part of the present study. The 35 novel and 10 existing loci were cross-amplified on eight additional shark species (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, C. longimanus, C. sorrah, Galeocerdo cuvier, Negaprion acutidens, Prionacea glauca, Rhincodon typus and Sphyrna lewini). These species had an average of 69% of successful amplification, considered if at least 50% of the individual samples being successfully amplified per species and per locus.ConclusionsThis novel microsatellite marker set will help address numerous knowledge gaps that remain, concerning genetic stock identification, shark behavior and reproduction via parentage analysis.
