Abstract: Thickness of shell inner nacreous layer was measured by using optical coherence tomography in 341 pearl oysters. Correlativity between five microsatellite markers and thickness of shell inner nacreous layer was calculated by one-way analysis of variance. Four out of the five markers( 2PM206,4PM34,4PM50 and PM6)were correlated with the test trait( P < 0. 05). It is shown that oysters with 173 /173 genotype in locus 2PM206,with 189 /189 genotype in locus 4PM34,with genotype 201 /205 in locus 4PM50 and 260 /266 genotype in locus PM6 had significantly higher thickness of shell nacreous layer than other genotype individuals(P < 0. 05). Individuals with allele 209 had lower values of the tested traits than all the other individuals with alleles in 4PM50 marker,and hence allele 209 may have negative correlation with the thickness of shell nacreous layer(P < 0. 05).
