Sm. Dolganov et Ai. Pudovkin, GENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE SCALLOP MIZUHOPE CTEN (PATINOPECTEN) YESSOENSIS JAY, 1856 FROM PRIMORYE, Genetika, 33(10), 1997, pp. 1387-1394
Genetic variations of six allozyme loci (Aat, EstD-2, Gpi, Odh, Pgm, a
nd Gp-1) were studied in the Japanese scallop sampled from 19 natural
settlements in Primorye. A large genetically homogenous population was
shown to inhabit more than a 1300-km region of the sea coast from the
Chikhachev Bay on the north to the Posjet Bay on the south. However.
the settlement located furthest south near Furuhelm Island was reveale
d to differ significantly from the other Primorye settlements and was
assumed to belong to another scallop population inhabiting Koreas coas
t to the south.
