BREEDING METHOD FOR ORANGE-ADDUCTOR-MUSCLE SCALLOP

摘要

A breeding method for orange-adductor-muscle scallop comprises selecting individual containing carotene in an adductor muscle from wild scallops. The carotene content in the adductor muscle is detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Fry are bred into scallops in a raft culture method. Orange-adductor-muscle scallops with full gonadal development are selected from an artificial breeding population or a natural geographical population as parent scallops. Sperms are added into seawater containing ova. The batched orange adductor muscle scallops are obtained by using conventional scallop hatchery and nursery techniques after fertilization. The breeding method has the advantage of simple technical steps, low cost, high survival rate of fry, high culturing yield, high nutritional value of the product and better economic effect.
