Twelve new microsatellite markers were isolated from the gilted seabream Sparus aurata L., a seawater fish distributed throughout the Mediterranean Sea and on the East Atlantic Coast and exploited in both fisheries and aquaculture. Characterization in 16 individuals from a hatchery population from France reveals three to 17 alleles and a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.752. Inheritance and linkage were assessed in a bi‐parental cross, and using polymorphism and linkage information, two PCR‐multiplex were developed for routine analysis of Sparus aurata populations.
