The data file contains genotype data for 12 loci (LP3, LP4, LP9,LP11, LP13, LP14, LP15, LP17, LP20, LP21, LP23, LP24) of adults or recruits of the rocky reef fish Lepadogaster lepadogaster. Fish were sampled at seven sites (Arrábida Marine Park - ARR, Lisbon - LIS, Peniche - PEN, São Martinho do Porto - MAR, Sines - SIN, Almograve - ALM, Barranco - BAR) along the Portuguese coast in 2011 and 2012.  For this study, approximately a 0.03 cm3 tissue sample from the dorsal fin was clipped from adult L. lepadogaster and stored in 96% ethanol. Adult fish were released directly back into the same location where they were collected. At ARR, juvenile fish were euthanized and fixed in 96% ethanol. L. lepadogaster is not a species of conservation concern (IUCN, 2014: Least Concern) and thus no specific permits were required, except for sampling at ARR. This permit was issued by the Portuguese Nature Conservation Institute (ICNF).
