Abstract
The longheaded eagle ray, Aetobatus flagellum feeds mainly on bivalves, and there have been some indications that the current reduction in the bivalve population in southern Japan may be due to an increase in the number of longheaded eagle rays. Consequently, the 'predator control programme' for reducing the longheaded eagle ray population was established in 2001 in Japan. For studying the population genetics of the longheaded eagle ray, we isolated eight polymorphic microsatellite loci (two to six alleles per locus; expected heterozygosity, 0.172-0.700) from this species.
