Isolation of microsatellite markers and analysis of genetic diversity among east Atlantic populations of the sword razor shell Ensis siliqua: a tool for population management.

Abstract excerpt

The sword razor shell Ensis siliqua (Linnaeus, 1758) is found mainly from Norway to the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. It is intensively caught in Europe, being highly appreciated as seafood. To help in its conservation and management, five microsatellite markers were isolated and genetic variation was analyzed in samples from Ireland, Spain, and Portugal. The highly significant differentiation (θ =...
