Abstract:Yesso scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) is one of the main marine aquaculture species of the Russian Far East. However, the population size of this species is declining due to overfishing and habitat loss. As the population genetic structure of the scallop from Russia is poorly studied, we analyzed polymorphism of the noncoding region mitochondrial DNA (NcR2) and seven microsatellite loci. Genetic diversity and structure of M. yessoensis populations from four geographical areas of the Sea of Japan and the Sea … Show more
