DISCRIMINATION METHOD OF EPINEPHELUS FUSCOGUTTATUS HAVING GROWTH HERITAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods capable of discriminating fish having a high growth trait without killing the individual by developing a high growth marker for Epinephelus fuscoguttatus.SOLUTION: We made a genetic map of Epinephelus fuscoguttatus using a genetic marker developed for Epinephelus bruneus and analyzed QTL for the gene marker in large body weight (BW) groups and small BW groups of cultured Epinephelus fuscoguttatus, and found out six main genetic markers which affect a growth heritage. Provided is a genetic marker for discriminating Epinephelus fuscoguttatus having a growth heritage, the genetic marker consisting of a polynucleotide having a nucleic acid sequence having a microsatellite sequence of DNA marker locus sequences or partial sequences thereof which found out at that time.SELECTED DRAWING: None
