  • Publication number: 20260123606
    Abstract: This invention relates to genetically improved Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) lines developed by the Morgan State University Patuxent Environmental and Aquatic Research Laboratory. Derived from Maryland wild populations, these diploid, triploid, and tetraploid lines exhibit enhanced tolerance to low salinity, rapid growth, and disease resistance. Genetic improvement was achieved through multiple approaches including phenotype-based, genomic, and marker-assisted selection. Several diploid low-salinity-tolerant lines (LS2019, LS2025, LS H-GEBV) and a fast-growing line (FG H-GEBV) have been produced and are undergoing field evaluation, while MSX-resistant lines are under development through field challenge testing. Multi-trait genomic selection enables integration of growth, salinity tolerance, and disease resistance into single lines based on trait correlations and production needs.

  • Publication number: 20260123614
    Abstract: This invention relates to the development of heat-tolerant soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) lines for aquaculture through selective breeding and molecular genetic approaches. Two methods are employed: (1) phenotype-based selection, in which clams are exposed to natural or controlled heat shock conditions (30-33° C.) and survivors are selected across successive generations and multiple populations; and (2) marker-assisted selection (MAS), utilizing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to select broodstock capable of producing heat-tolerant offspring. The resulting lines exhibit enhanced survival and endurance under elevated temperatures, particularly above the species' critical threshold of 28° C. These heat-tolerant clams enable sustainable aquaculture production in Maryland and other warm, low-salinity estuaries where soft-shell clams historically failed to survive summer heat.
