Preliminary molecular work on hard clam, meretrix lyrata from Buntal Bay, Sarawak

Meretrix lyrata (lyrate Asiatic hard clam) could be found at Buntal Bay, Sarawak. This species is a filter feeder so it play important role in balancing aquatic ecosystem besides its important role as protein sources to coastal communities. Studies on M. lyrata in Sarawak had been limited to the m...
