Abstract excerpt
The Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is a key aquaculture species in China's intertidal zones, where body size and growth rates strongly influence market preference and commercial value. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of shell traits and population structure of coastal stocks remain poorly understood. Here, we performed RAD-seq sequencing of 301 individuals from 10 populations along the Chinese coast to...
