“…H. Zhang, Zhang et al (), H. Zhang, Zhao et al (), and X. Zhang et al () identified and characterized single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF‐1R) genes in O. potamophila . They found that a SNP site in the intron of IGF‐1R was associated with growth performance and suggested that this SNP site could be used in marker‐assisted selection (MAS) (H. Zhang, Zhang et al ; H. Zhang, Zhao et al ; X. Zhang et al ). Likewise, microsatellite loci were examined for potential use in MAS in pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii , which is an important commercial bivalve used for the production of marine pearls in China and Japan (Zhan et al ).…”
