Application of RAPD technology for identification in three different stocks of Penaeus chinensis

The genetic structure of three stocks(K,H and S) of Penaeus chinensis was detected by RAPD method which useed 41 random oligonucleotide primers with 10 bases.Stock K was from the spawning stock of the western coastal waters of the Korea Peninsula,H was from the Huanghai SeaBohai Sea stock and S was from the health cultured stock in Jimo,Shandong Province,China.Three genetic markers,F-02₅₄₀,OPN-13₈₀₀ and OPN-20₂₂₀₀,which could differentiate the three different stocks,have been reported.The basic data for marker assisted selection(MAS) on genetic breeding of Penaeus chinensis are provided.
