Scallops are a cosmopolitan family of bivalves, and some of them are highly prized as
dominant aquaculture species. In the past decades, there have been increasing studies on …

The production of most farmed molluscs, including mussels, oysters, scallops, abalone, and
clams, is heavily dependent on natural seed from the plankton. Closing the lifecycle of …

The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and
facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t-restrial livestock …

Genetic linkage maps are indispensable tools in genetic and genomic studies. Recent
development of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) methods holds great promise for …

Marine invertebrates and fish are well known for their remarkable genetic diversity, which is
commonly explained by large population size and the characteristic dispersive nature of …

Interest in bivalve genomics has emerged during the last decade, owing to the importance of
these organisms in aquaculture and fisheries and to their role in marine environmental …

Preliminary genetic linkage maps were constructed for the Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus
hannai Ino) using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), randomly amplified …

We constructed the microsatellite‐based linkage maps using 318 markers typed in two F1
outbred families of Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri). The results showed an extremely high …

In order to provide information for selective breeding program in China, the genetic variation
in wild and cultured Pinctada fucata populations from southern China was studied using …

Genetic linkage maps were constructed for large yellow croaker Pseudosciaena crocea
(Richardson, 1846) using AFLP and microsatellite markers in an F1 family. Five hundred …
