A STUDY ON THE HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN SCALLOPS Chlamys farreri and Patinopecten yessoensis

A study was made on the hybridization using Farreris scallop(Chlamys farreri) ♀×Japanese scallop(Patinopecten yessoensis).The results indicated that hybridation between the two species of scallop is feasible.During the larva stage,F1 hybrids exhibited strong growth to some extent;no significant difference was found in the larva survival rates between the groups,however,the metamorphism rate of F1 hrbrids was significantly lower than that of the inbred groups.Nursery rearing was studied with the hybrid group of Zhikong scallop(Chlamys farreri) ♀×Japanese scallop(Patinopecten yessoensis),and good economic benefits were gained.
