The Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, is taxonomically close to the Pacific oyster, C gigas, but there are clear genetic and phenotypic differences between these taxa. Among those differences, the faster growth of C. gigas compared with C angulata has often been observed in the field. Crosses between C. angulata and C. gigas were performed to investigate the relationship between growth variation and somatic aneuploidy at the individual level in the two taxa and their reciprocal hybrids. The different progenies were reared in Ria Formosa (Portugal) under standard farming conditions. Growth rate and survival were significantly higher in C. gigas than in C. angulata, and the hybrids showed intermediate performances. Significant differences were also observed in the proportion of aneuploid cells (PAC) and of missing chromosomes (PMC) between the two taxa, C. angulata showing the highest values. Intermediate values of PAC and PMC were observed in the hybrids, supporting additive genetic bases of these parameters. Our results also confirm the negative correlation between somatic aneuploidy and growth rate at the individual level, as previously reported in C. gigas. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
