METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING THREE-LINE ASSORTED BREEDING SYSTEM FOR ARGOPECTEN PURPURATUS-ARGOPECTEN IRRADIANS CONCENTRICUS HYBRID SCALLOPS AND APPLICATION THEREOF
A method for establishing a three-line assorted breeding system for Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus hybrid scallops and application thereof. The three lines comprise a sterile male line, a maintenance line, and a restorative line of the Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus hybrid scallop, wherein Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus hybrid scallops are a hybrid progeny of Argopecten purpuratus ova and for Argopecten irradians concentricus sperm. First establishing a large quantity of Argopecten purpuratus and Argopecten irradians concentricus first generation hybrids, and finding therein sterile then successively backcrossing using Argopecten irradians concentricus sperm, respectively selectively breeding a sterile male line-maintenance line combination in which all progeny are sterile males, and a sterile male line-restorative line combination in which all progeny are hermaphrodites and finally hybridising the sterile male line and maintenance line to produce sterile male line parent scallops and hybridising the sterile male line and restorative line to produce Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus commercial fry. A scallop three-line assorted breeding system is established in an animal, effectively overcoming the challenge of self-fertilisation in hermaphrodite scallop hybrids the current year yield is increased by over 42% compared to that of Argopecten irradians concentricus.Linvention concerne un procédé pour établir un système délevage en trois lignées sélectionnées pour des pétoncles hybrides Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus et la mise en oeuvre dudit procédé. Les trois lignées comprennent une lignée mâle stérile, une lignée mainteneuse et une lignée restauratrice issues du pétoncle hybride Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus, les pétoncles hybrides Argopecten purpuratus-Argopecten irradians concentricus étant des descendants hybrides iss
