Title Prospects for selective breeding of pearl oysters in India
 
Creator Velayudhan, T S
 
Subject Pearl oyster
 
Description Recently a variety of approaches has been introduced
in the field of genetics of molluscs, including Mendelian
genetics, cytogenetics, quantitative genetics, biochemical
genetics and hybridization. Wada (1975 a, b, 1985) has
estimated the response to selection for several attributes
of Pinctada fucata for sheU variance of full siblings.
He analysed the genetic variability and gene frequencies
at three loci in two strains selected for four to five
generations. The change of frequencies of colour of
nacre in the selected lines of pearl oyster to yellow
prismatic layer for five generations has been studied
(Wada, 1985). Wada (1976, 1985) and Wada and
Komaru (1985) have studied the chromosome
morphology of different species of bivalves.
