In this study, the genetic polymorphism of common two-banded seabream (Diplodus vulgaris Geoffory Saint-Hilarie, 1817), a species belonging to the Sparidae family and living in the Eastern Medi-terranean coast of Turkey, was examined using dif-ferent microsatellite markers. A total of 69 D. vul-garis were obtained from the fish vendors in Mersin, Antalya and İskenderun Bay and their DNAs were isolated from the muscle tissue. The chromosomal DNAs isolated from the sample tissues were ampli-fied with the help of Dvul33, Dvul38, and Dvul84 microsatellite markers. As a result of the phyloge-netic analysis, it was found that the fish obtained from Mersin and Antalya had similar genotype char-acteristics. It was also found that the fish obtained from İskenderun showed a different polymorphism due to local mobility. It is thought that this genetic differentiation will help future selection and breed-ing studies.
