Germplasm Resources Evaluation of Cultured Largemouth Bass (<i>Micropterus salmoides</i>) in China Based on Whole Genome Resequencing.

ABSTRACT: Background: Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), a valuable freshwater fish species, has experienced significant genetic decline in China due to prolonged domestic breeding and limited introduction of new genetic material. It is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the genetic status of largemouth bass populations in China. Method: In this study, we conducted population genetic analyses on nine cultured largemouth bass populations using whole genome resequencing. Results: A total of 3.23 Tb of clean bases were generated, with average Q20 and Q30 values of 98.17% and 94.25%, respectively, and 2,140,534 high-quality SNPs were obtained. Relatively high genetic diversity was observed across all populations. Combined with linkage disequilibrium (LD)
