Abstract
Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the genetic structure of six populations ofRuditapes philippinarum in the coast of China. Seven enzymes revealed eleven putative loci, and seven of them were polymorphic,PGM *, MDH-1*,MDH-3 *,LAP-1 *,LAP-2 *,MPI-1 * andMPI-2 *. The proportions of polymorphic loci ofR. philippinarum populations varied from 0.454 5 to 0.636 4. The values of observed and expected heterozygosities were from 0.039 4 to 0.154 5 and from 0.1111 to 0.2385, respectively. Nei's genetic distance varied from 0.003 3 to 0.025 3 with an average of 0.013 5. It is suggested that the genetic diversity ofR. philippinarum was high.
