Abstract: | Genetic variability for two popula-tions, Maine and Maryland, of the soft-shelled clam,Mya arenaria, was estimated from electrophoretic anal-yses of whole clams. Polymorphism (12.5% in Maine and 16.7% in Maryland clams) and heterozygosity per individ-ual (4.6% in Maine and 6.6% in Maryland) were low for the two populations based on 40 loci in Maine and 42 loci in MarylandMya. |
