AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) marker was employed to examine the genetic differences between cultured and wild populations and genetic diversity of Paralichthys olivaceus.
Pairwise Fst and AMOVA revealed significant genetic differentiation among them, indicating cultured populations exhibited distinctive heterogeneity with wild populations.
The results of present study suggested that broods of this study should not be released into natural sea areas due to its genetic alterations.
