Abstract excerpt
The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is a carnivorous portunid crab, mainly distributed along the southeastern coast of China. Mitochondrial DNA analysis in a previous study indicated a high level of genetic diversity and a low level of genetic differentiation. In this study, population genetic diversity and differentiation of S. paramamosain were investigated using nine microsatellite markers. In total, 397 wild...
