Genetic Diversity and Structure Analysis of Wild Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) Within and Between River Systems Reveals Spatial Genetic Structure and Salinity‐Adaptive Variation Across the Canadian Maritimes
In the Canadian Maritimes, the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) industry has been shaped by population‐scale events, including ~90% reductions of natural beds from Malpeque disease. For many years, Maritime oyster populations were considered genetically homogenous due to large‐scale transplants to rehabilitate de...
