Microsatellite genotype dataset for <i>Ilisha elongata</i> (17 loci, 220 individuals)

This item contains raw microsatellite genotype data for Chinese herring (Ilisha elongata), genotyped at 17 polymorphic SSR loci (IELO1–IELO17) for 220 individuals sampled from multiple wild populations along the Chinese coast. Genotypes are provided in Genepop format (files: genepop111 and genepop111.DAT; 4-digit allele codes, two alleles per locus). A sample metadata table (Table Summary of sample information for population analysis of I.elongata) includes individual IDs, population codes, and sampling information used for population genetic analyses (e.g., STRUCTURE/PCA/AMOVA).
