Genetic Profile Assessment of Giant Clam Genus Tridacna as a Basis for Resource Management at Wakatobi National Park Waters
Abstract: Giant clam
population has been decreased in a few years. Resource management requires
information from various aspects, such as ecological, population, and other
aspects. This study was aimed at assessing the genetic profile of Tridacna
giant clam in Wakatobi National Park waters using Cytochrome oxidase subunit I
(COI) genetic marker. Sample collection was conducted around the three main
islands, i.e., Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, and Tomia. Genetic analysis using COI
gene may contribute in identifying giant clams up to the species level and
showed the relationship among species. The research found 41 specific
nucleotide sites for the clams. T. crocea, T. squamosa and T. maxima had 2, 15
and 24 sites, respectively. COI gene as a biological marker was able to
separate groups of giant clam by species. Nucleotide variation of T. crocea
from Wakatobi was the highest among other locations, so it could be used as a
genetic source for translocation and domestication.
