Table 3. Growth traits of Zhikong scallops in a population with respect to genotypes at SNP c. 1815C>T in the Tgfbr1 gene.

Genotype N GF SL SH BW STW SMW
CC 57 29.1 46.51±8.30 52.34±7.96 18.02±7.09 7.15±2.78 1.90±0.88a
CT 112 57.1 47.08±9.04 52.80±8.26 18.57±8.32 7.28±3.14 1.93±0.98a
TT 27 13.8 49.99±6.92 54.73±7.00 20.79±6.65 8.40±2.68 1.99±0.95b

N, number of scallops; GF, genotype frequency (%); SL, shell length (mm); SH, shell height (mm); BW, body weight (g); STW, soft tissue weight (g); SMW, striated muscle weight (g). The growth traits are given as the mean ± standard deviation. The values with different superscripts within each column are significantly different (P<0.05). Significant difference was detected in SMW values between genotype CC and TT (p = 0.037), and between CT and TT (P = 0.031).
