Isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers for the chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) and cross-species amplification in the blue mackerel (S. australasicus)

In this study, 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed in Scomber japonicus and were examined on 30 individuals collected from the North Pacific. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 17. The observed and expected heterozygosities per locus ranged from 0.2759 to 0.8621 and from 0.43071 to 0.9177, respectively. The polymorphism information con.. Read More»

First genetic linkage map for the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) constructed using microsatellite and AFLP markers

    H.Y. Ma, S.J. Li, N.N. Feng, C.Y. Ma, W. Wang, W. Chen and L.B. Ma

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is of economic importance for the fisheries and aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we constructed the first genetic linkage map for this species using microsatellite and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. The map consisted of 65 linkage groups, including 34 triplets and 9 doublets. A total of 212 mole.. Read More»

Development and testing of 13 polymorphic microsatellite markers in Larimichthys polyactis (Sciaenidae) using 5' anchored PCR

    C.Y. Ma, H.Y. Ma and L.B. Ma

Larimichthys polyactis is a commercially important marine fish species in southeast Asia. The population crashed due to overfishing in the 1970s, but has since recovered. We developed 13 novel polymorphic microsatellite markers in L. polyactis using 5' anchored PCR. The characteristics of these loci were estimated by analyzing a sample of 30 individuals. A total of ..

Optimization of selective breeding through analysis of morphological traits in Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

    W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma

Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, using correlation and path analyses. The re.. Read More»

Characteristics of growth traits and their effects on body weight of G1 individuals in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)

    W. Jiang, H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, S.J. Li, Y.X. Liu, Z.G. Qiao and L.B. Ma

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is considered a potentially important marine crab species for selective breeding. Here, we first examined sex ratio and differences in 16 growth traits between females and males in a G1 population of S. paramamosain, and we then analyzed the correlation between these growth traits and their effects on body weight ..

Correlation of growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)

    H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, L.B. Ma, Z. Xu, N.N. Feng and Z.G. Qiao

In this study, we analyzed the correlation of 20 growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of Scylla paramamosain. The correlation coefficients in all trait pairs were significantly high, ranging from 0.551 to 0.999. Among 19 X-Y pairs, the correlation coefficient between traits X1 and Y was the highest, whereas that between X13 and Y was the lowest. Path analysis indicated that on.. Read More»

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Portunus pelagicus with implications for phylogenomics

    C.Y. Ma, H.Y. Ma, G.J. Ren, W. Wang, W. Chen, J.X. Lu, X. Zou and L.B. Ma

This study determined the mitochondrial genome structure of the blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus), and elucidated its phylogenetic relationships among the species within the order Decapoda. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,155 bp long, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 DNA control region. The gene order of the genome was the.. Read More»

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationships of the three-spot swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus)

    H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, J.J. Zhu, G.J. Ren, W. Wang, W. Chen, J.X. Lu and L.B. Ma

In this study, we determined the whole mitochondrial genome profile of the three-spot swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) and elucidated phylogenetic relationships between representative species in the order Decapoda. The mitochondrial genome was 16,024 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a p.. Read More»
