Selective advantage of heterozygotes at catalase locus in the pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas.

Abstract: Wild and cultured populations of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, were analysed by starch gel electrophoresis for catalase (CAT). The comparison of genotypic frequencies at the Cat locus revealed an apparent advantage of heterozygotes in the wild and cultured populations.The observed frequency of heterozygotes in each population was higher than the expected frequency.This result suggests a case of balanced polymorphism.The genotypes of the Cat locus were associated with marked differences in early mortal… Show more

“…The lowest heterozygosis value was recorded for the 1999 population. The values tended to increase towards 2001, but are lower than the value of 0.20 reported for other populations of Pacific oyster (Buroker et al, 1975;Fujio, 1982;Ozaki and Fujio, 1985;de la Rosa-Vélez et al, 1991;English et al, 2000;Yang et al, 2000). De la RosaVélez et al (1991) proposed that inbreeding, environmental selection and the Wahlund effect could be responsible for the heterozygote deficiency found when they studied oysters from San Quintín.…”

“…La población de 1999 registró el valor menor de heterocigosis y se advierte que existe una tendencia a incrementar el valor de este parámetro hacia 2001. Sin embargo, éstos son menores al valor de 0.20 reportado para diferentes poblaciones de ostión japonés (Buroker et al, 1975;Fujio, 1982;Ozaki y Fujio, 1985;de la Rosa-Vélez et al, 1991;English et al, 2000;Yang et al, 2000). De la Rosa-Vélez et al (1991) presentaron algunas hipótesis (endogamia, selección por el medio ambiente y efecto Wahlund) para explicar la deficiencia de heterocigosis que encontraron al estudiar los ostiones cultivados de Bahía San Quintín.…”

“…A positive relationship between multiple-locus enzyme heterozygosity and growth, or energy available for growth, has recently been demonstrated for a number of marine invertebrates including mussels (e.g. Singh & Zouros 1978, Fujio 1982, Garton 1984, Garton et al 1984, Koehn & Gaffney 1984, Mitton & Grant 1984, Diehl et al 1985, Rodhouse et al 1986). It has been argued that this relationship is due to a greater average efficiency of basal or standard metabolism in more heterozygous individuals (Koehn & Shumway 1982, Garton 1984, Diehl et al 1985.…”

“…La heterocigosidad tambien está positivamente relacionada con la sobrevivencia y crecimiento de larvas y adultos (Fujio, 1982). Se ha observado que la heterocigosidad en poblaciones cultivadas es ligeramente más baja que en las poblaciones silvestres y reducida heterocigosidad ha sido encontrada en muchas especies de moluscos procedentes de laboratorio (Xiao et al, 2005).…”
