Genetic diversity and breeding efficiency of a salt-tolerant strain of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) revealed by microsatellite analysis and phenotypic evaluations.

Abstract excerpt

To address the underuse of saline-alkaline water and the shortage of suitable aquaculture species, a salt-tolerant strain of largemouth bass was developed through multigenerational selection. In this study, the genetic structure of two base populations and three successive generations (F3-F5) was analyzed using microsatellite markers. Results showed the observed heterozygosity (Ho) ranged from 0.357 to 0.524, the...
