“…Because different broodstocks or seedstocks might differ in growth rate, or disease resistance, among other characteristics (Klinbunga et al, 2001), the identification of wild shrimp stocks is also important to provide an available source of wild genetic diversity in domestication and selective breeding programs (Brooker et al, 2000;Klinbunga et al, 2001). Currently, relative studies on M. nipponense have mainly focused on the development of molecular markers (Feng and Li, 2008;Zhao et al, 2010;Qiao et al, 2011;Song and Kim, 2011) and genetic diversity of the wild populations from the south rivers, mainly in the Yangtze River Basin and Qiantang River (Fu et al, 2010;Feng et al, 2011;Ge et al, 2011;Ma et al, 2011;Su et al, 2011). Previous studies on the genetic diversity of wild M. nipponense were mainly focused on the geographic populations of Yangtze River, Qiantang River, Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake, and Hongze Lake.…”
