Abstract

Shortnecked clam is a commercially important mollusks species, which is distributed all over the Yellow Sea. Consequent of the rapid increase in seed production, there is a need to understand the genetic composition of wild shortnecked clam populations in order to evaluate exactly the latent genetic effects induced by seed production operations. Many genetic and molecular researches were made because RAPD-PCR is a simple and rapid method for determining genetic diversity and similarity in various organisms with the advantage that no prior knowledge of the genome under research is needed (Fischer et at., 2000).
