“…Detailed information on genetic markers specific to lines, breeds, species, and/or geographical populations has been used for the identification and discrimination of individuals and populations, as well as hybrid pedigrees, and for molecular genetic testing (Mamuris et al, 1999;Klinbunga et al, 2000a;Nozaki et al, 2000;Yoon & Park, 2002;Kim et al, 2004;Park et al, 2005;Yoon & Kim, 2010;Yoon et al, 2012;Song & Yoon, 2013;Oh & Yoon, 2014). Accordingly, adaptations of PCR methods to the mariculture and fishing industry have been used to estimate genetic distances (GDs) among some finfish species and/or invertebrate animals from different geographical locations (Callejas & Ochando, 1998;Tassanakajon et al, 1998;Klinbunga et al, 2000b;McCormack et al, 2000;Yoon & Park, 2002;Kim et al, 2004;Park et al, 2005;Song & Yoon, 2013;Oh & Yoon, 2014). In this study, to evaluate the GDs and dissimilarities between geographical echiuran populations, clustering analysis of two Urechis spp.…”
