“…In the following development stages, the maternal effect and paternal effect were optimally expressed due to the effects of genetic and environmental factors, and then different degrees of heterosis occurred (Crean and Bonduriansky ). This kind tendency of variation in extent of hetrosis was also reported in studies on inter‐population hybridizations of shellfish (Mallet and Haley ; Hedgecock et al ; Cruz et al ; Zheng et al , ; You et al ).…”

In the present study, intraspecific crossing experiments between Chinese (H) and Thai populations (T) of Babylonia areolata were conducted by using a complete diallel design (H, T, TH, and HT). A total of 45 pedigreed families were obtained and cultured under the same environmental conditions. Positive heterosis was observed for many developmental parameters and shell sizes for most stages from juvenile to adult. Hatching and metamorphosis occurred significantly earlier in the hybrid (HT) than in the parent groups and a crossed group (TH). Rate of metamorphosis was also higher in HT than in the other three groups. Heterosis in shell length and body weight of the crossed group (HT) from the nursery and grow-out stage to harvest time was high and significantly different from the H, T, and TH groups. For mortality rate from juvenile to adult, total and average heterosis of the crossed group (TH) was positive and significantly different from H, T, and HT. The results of the present study show that intraspecies crosses can be a potentially useful way to increase the economic traits for B. areolata and thus provide a promising method for genetic improvement of the species as a new aquaculture stock in southern China.

“…The Peninsula forms a geographical barrier for the gene flow between the two scallop stocks, and as a result, a clear genetic separation exists (Petersen, Ibarra‐Obando & May ). Cruz, Ramirez, García and Ibarra () reported a similar genetic differentiation in the Pacific Calico scallop Argopecten ventricosus between Gulf and Pacific populations. Genetic adaptations and different phenotypic responses to environmental conditions are also common in other bivalve species such as Mytilus edulis (Dickie, Boudreau & Freeman ; Kautsky, Johanneson & Tedengren ), Mercenaria mercenaria (Manzi, Hadley & Dillon ), Pecten maximus (Mackie & Ansell ), and for ecophysiological traits of the Lion's Paw, N. subnodosus (Purce ).…”

“…A similar result was found in A. ventricosus , another scallop species of the region by (Cruz et al . ), who studied growth and survival of Gulf and Pacific populations and their reciprocal transplants at the two coasts of the Baja California peninsula. At the Gulf site, the native population faired significantly better than the Pacific population for all measured growth traits (shell height, shell width, tissue weight, total weight) and mortality.…”

This study focused on the comparison of growth and mortality of Lion's Paw scallops Nodipecten subnodosus from Gulf of California and Pacific populations and their reciprocal transplants, cultured in suspended module and bottom culture in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Environmental parameters were monitored to determine site‐specific differences and were correlated with scallops' population‐specific responses. Significant differences in growth were found between sites, populations and grow‐out methods. Growth performance of scallops originating from the Pacific population was lower and uniform between Pacific and Gulf culture sites, whereas Gulf scallops cultured at the Pacific site grew better. Growth and survival was higher in suspended than bottom culture, mainly due to depth‐associated differences in food and oxygen supply. Increasing temperatures and decreasing food and oxygen during summer months resulted in depressed growth and elevated mortality. At the Pacific site, this was partially compensated by considerably higher food availability. Gulf scallops resisted high diurnal temperature changes at San Buto significantly better than Pacific scallops. They also survived generally better than the Pacific population, independent of site and grow‐out method, indicating physiological adaptations to high temperatures and low food availability in their habitat. Consequently, the Gulf population appears to be more feasible for aquaculture operations in coastal lagoons with stressful conditions.

“…Similarly, genetic correlations for growth‐related traits over locations were close to unity in other cultured shellfish species such as Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas (Evans and Langdon ; Swan et al ), and Silver‐lip pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima (Kvingedal et al ). For some species, such as the Catarina scallop, Argopecten ventricosus , minor interactions were detected for shell width with limited reranking of groups for merit, but not for the three other growth traits evaluated (Cruz et al : Ibarra et al ). Similarly, in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus intermedius , reared in three different laboratory environments, significant interactions were detected for all growth traits, but was limited and interactions accounted for minor proportions (0–2.74%) of phenotypic variances (Zhang et al ).…”

An Assessment of Hatchery Cohort Growth Rates of South African Abalone, Haliotis midae, Across Four Commercial Environments

The abalone, Haliotis midae (commonly referred to as “perlemoen”), is an important aquaculture species in South Africa, accounting for the highest percentage of total aquaculture production revenue. The industry largely makes use of wild, undomesticated broodstock and thus a consortium of top producers was formed to develop a genetic improvement program to increase efficiency and sustainability of the industry. As such, the current study aimed to evaluate growth trait performance (wet weight and shell length) of four hatchery‐derived cohorts of South African abalone, across four differing production environments. No significant cohort‐by‐location effects were found for weight and length traits; however, differences were detected between respective cohorts and locations. It is concluded that a single synthetic population comprised of all hatchery cohorts under a single breeding goal is suitable for production at all test locations. Furthermore, advances in artificial reproductive technologies, genetic markers, and individual identification hold promise for genetic improvement of the species.
