The present invention provides a method for rapidly and non-destructively evaluating the soft weight of bivalve molluscs, and belongs to the technical field of
shellfish breeding. The method comprises: measuring the
body size and weight traits of the bivalve molluscs in the
training set, calculating the shell surface area of the bivalve molluscs in the
training set, constructing a soft
weight estimation model based on the bivalve molluscs in the
training set by using
ridge regression, measuring the
body size and full
wet weight of the bivalve molluscs in the
test set, calculating the shell surface area of the bivalve molluscs in the
test set, and estimating the soft weight of the bivalve molluscs in the
test set by using the soft weight evaluation model. The present invention can accurately and non-destructively measure the soft weight of bivalve molluscs with high
throughput, circumvents the problem that the traditional
anatomical measurement method must sacrifice the bivalve molluscs, overcomes the limitations of the evaluation method based on image recognition, which is high cost, low efficiency, and unstable accuracy, and provides a solution to the difficult problem of dynamically monitoring the changes in the soft weight of bivalve molluscs, making it possible to systematically analyze the genetic basis of the regulation of the soft weight of bivalve molluscs and accelerate the cultivation of high-fat bivalve varieties.
