Translocation and Aquaculture Impact on Genetic Diversity and Composition of Wild Self-Sustainable Ostrea edulis Populations in the Adriatic Sea

Translocation and Aquaculture Impact on Genetic Diversity and Composition of Wild Self-Sustainable Ostrea edulis Populations in the Adriatic Sea

The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is a keystone species suffering major population declines due to overfishing, habitat loss and parasite diseases. Knowledge of its fine-scale population genetic structure and connectivity, needed for effective conservation, restoration and management, is larg...
