Genetic Population Structure of the Hard Clam Meretrix meretrix Along the Chinese Coastlines Revealed by Microsatellite DNA Markers

The hard clam Meretrix meretrix is ecologically and economically important in the coastal regions of China. We evaluated the genetic diversity and population structure among eight M. meretrix samples from the Yellow Sea (YS) and South China Sea (SCS) using nine microsatellite DNA loci. Both conventi...
