Abstract excerpt
The population genetic structure of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus from three different wild populations along the Peruvian coast was analyzed using nine microsatellite loci and a partial region (530bp) of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. A total of 19 polymorphic sites in the 16S rRNA gene defined 18 unique haplotypes. High genetic diversity was presented in all populations. Statistical analysis of...
