Abstract excerpt
The hard clam Meretrix lamarckii is ecologically and economically important in the coastal regions of China. In this study, we evaluated the genetic diversity and population structure of six M. lamarckii populations in the East China Sea and the South China Sea using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and cytochrome b (Cytb) genes. We obtained 582 bp of partly sequences comprising 28 novel...
