Genetic variation mining of the blackened turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) based on transcriptome data
Scophthalmus maximus is an important mariculture fish in China. Malpigmentation on the blind-side skin represents a significant concern in flatfish aquaculture. In the present study, transcriptome sequencing was conducted on blind-side skin from both hypermelanotic and normal turbot to find out SNP loci associated to hypermelanosis.
