Abstract
Anadara antiquata belongs to the Mollusca phylum, class Bivalvia, distributed in the coastal areas of Vietnam, with high nutritional and economic value. This study focused on the morphological characteristics and genetic diversity of A. antiquata in six regions of central Vietnam (Da Nang, Quang Nam, Phu Yen, Nha Trang, Binh Thuan and Thanh Hoa). The analysis of morphology of A. antiquata had the following results: shell width (SW: 41.45 mm), shell length (SL: 22.54 mm), right shell height (HRV: 29.27 mm), height left sheath (Coach: 28.49 mm), ligament length (LL: 25.74 mm), right trochanteric cavity depth (UHR: 7.90 mm), left trochanteric space depth (UHL: 8, 33 mm), right case symmetry (SRV: 8.58 mm) and left case symmetry (SLV: 8.41 mm). The mean shell volume (SV) and shell cavity volume (DSWT) were 4.45 ml and 11.11 ml, respectively. The average dry peel weight was 11.17 g. Genetic diversity showed that the 8 random primers used to analyze DNA polymorphisms of 41 A. antiquata had 87 amplified polymorphic DNA bands.
