A FIRST GENETIC LINKAGE MAP FOR THE BLUE MUSSEL Mytilus edulis.
The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, from the White Sea to the Atlantic coast of southern France, and is an economically important species (1 million tons per year, FAO, 2002). At present however, little domestication has been achieved with bivalves, in...
