ABSTRACT A genetic linkage map of the blood clam (Tegillarca granosa) was constructed based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers.

The blood clam Tegillarca granosa lives in the lower-to mid-intertidal zones along the western Pacific Ocean Coasts of China, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia.

Whereas normally the MB of the blood clam erythrocyte appears to deform the MS and maintain its shape (Joseph-Silverstein and Cohen, 1985), the mechanism at work here generates sufficient force to produce substantial secondary deformation of the MB (Fig.

Thus there is sufficient precedent for serious consideration of such a mechanism in blood clam erythrocytes.

In developing the procedure, "blood clam" and amphibian erythrocytes, sea urchin sperm, and sea urchin zygotes were used as test material.

The images of blood clam erythrocyte cytoskeletons obtained with the new method (e.g., [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1A, A[PRIME] OMITTED]) are superior, in terms of three-dimensional structure and retention of representative samples to those obtained previously with polylysine.
