Analysis of genetic variation and inbreeding among three lines of hatchery-reared Crassostrea virginica broodstock
2020-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry in the US. Although selective breeding programs have successfully developed lines of C. virginica with faster growth and improved disease resistance for aquaculture, maintaining genetic diversity in hatchery stocks over successive generations remains a challenge. This study assessed the genetic effects of breeding practices on three l...
