Chromosome number of a bivalve-inhabiting hydroid, Eugymnanthea japonica (Leptomedusae : Eirenidae) from Japan

The chromosome number of a bivalve-inhabiting hydroid, Eugymnanthea japonica, was determined to be n= 15 and 2n=30 by an air-drying method, using six populations commensal with Mytilus edulis galloprovincialis and Crassostrea gigas in central and southern Japan. No geographical variation of chromoso...

Description
Summary:The chromosome number of a bivalve-inhabiting hydroid, Eugymnanthea japonica, was determined to be n= 15 and 2n=30 by an air-drying method, using six populations commensal with Mytilus edulis galloprovincialis and Crassostrea gigas in central and southern Japan. No geographical variation of chromosome number of this species was found.
