Loss of genetic diversity in the cultured stocks of the large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea, revealed by microsatellites.

Abstract excerpt

The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is the most important mariculture fish species in China and the wild stocks of this croaker have collapsed in the past decades due to high fishing pressure and habitat degradation. Due to a lack of wild croaker samples, however, studies concerning the genetic changes of the cultured croaker stocks compared to their wild counterparts were never conducted. Here, we...
