The spread of invasive species is one of the most remarkable phenomena caused by human-induced global changes. Management actions that prevent their impacts on native species require knowledge of their ecological and genetic traits. The genetic characteristics of the Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus, collected from the Ghar El Melh lagoon, were examined using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. A total of 30 individuals including 17 females and 13 males were studied. The analysis of data relies on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA, followed by statistical processing of the resulting PCR products. We quantified the genetic diversity by the percentage of polymorphic loci, the expected heterozygosity and the Shannon information index and we compared them between males and females. Five ISSR primers yielded a total of 50 scored loci, 49 of which were polymorphic at the level of 99% displaying an average percentage of polymorphic loci of 98%. The mean expected heterozygosity and the Shannon information index in combined sex were relatively high and exceeded 0.30 and 0.46, respectively. Overall genetic diversity was found to be different for both genders, with significantly higher expected heterozygosity and Shannon information index values in females than in males. This work is an initial analysis of genetic aspects of the invasion of Atlantic blue crabs in Tunisia using ISSR. The technique has proven to be an excellent alternative for low-cost genetic monitoring focused on the identification and control of this invasive species and could be used in other regions of the Tunisian coasts
