Breeding method for new marine backcrossed scallop variety

Abstract

The invention relates to a breeding method for a new marine backcrossed scallop variety. The breeding method is characterized in that: a best individual is chosen from the first filial generation family or group of Argopecten irradians and Argopecten purpuratus, and is first backcrossed with Argopecten irradians to establish a backcrossed family or group, a best hermaphrodite individual is then chosen from the backcrossed family or the backcrossed group with excellent performance, at least three generations of selved families are then bred in succession, and thereby the new marine backcrossed scallop variety which has the characteristics of stable heredity, fast growth, big individual and wide temperature tolerance range is obtained. The new marine backcrossed scallop variety bred by the breeding method has the characteristics of both Argopecten irradians and Argopecten purpuratus, i.e. fast growth, big individual, wide temperature tolerance range and stable heredity, and can be cultured in northern sea areas such as the sea areas of Tsingtao and Dalian, and moreover, the current yield of the new marine backcrossed scallop variety is increased by more than 30 percent in comparison with the current yield of Argopecten irradians.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the breeding technology of shellfish aquaculture, and in particular relates to a breeding method of a new variety of sea hybrid backcross scallop. Background technique [0002] The bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) is native to the Atlantic coast of the United States and was introduced to my country in 1982. The bay scallop grows fast, has a wide range of temperature adaptability, and has strong stress resistance. It is very suitable for farming in the northern seas of my country. At present, the output and farming area account for more than 50% of the scallop farming in my country. Due to the long-term inbreeding after the introduction, the germplasm of bay scallops has been severely degraded during the breeding process, showing that the size of commercial shellfish is getting smaller and smaller, and the mortality rate in the breeding process is high. For example, in 2007, the mortality rate of bay scallop broodsto...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

1) Due to the genetic instability of the first generation of hybrids and the separation of growth traits in the offspring, it is necessary to use purple scallops and bay scallops for seed production every year, which is relatively cumbersome; Summer and winter, and grow slowly in my country's sea areas, so it is quite difficult to obtain purple scallop broodstock for breeding the first generation of hybrids

3) Since bay scallops and purple scallops are both hermaphroditic scallops, sperm and eggs are released at the same time, and the sperm or eggs are easily polluted by eggs or sperm of the same species, and it is difficult to perform interspecific hybridization, resulting in the true The proportion of hybrid offspring is greatly reduced, which greatly limits the increase in yield

[0005] Obviously, there are great difficulties in popularization because of the need to breed two kinds of broodstock at the same time and it is difficult to realize the hybridization between two hermaphroditic scallops
