Genomic DNA isolated from two geographical ark shell (Scapharca subcrenata) populations was amplified several times by PCR reactions. The ark shell population from Daecheon (ASPD) and from Wonsan (ASPW) in the West Sea and the East Sea of Korean Peninsula, respectively, obtained. The seven arbitrarily selected primers OPA-05, OPA-11, OPB-09, OPB-11, OPB-14, OPC-18 and OPD-07 were shown to generate the loci observed per primer, shared loci by each population, specific loci, unique shared loci to each population and shared loci by the two populations which could be clearly scored. Here, 862 loci were identified in the ASPD population, and 1,191 in the ASPW population: 137 specific loci (15.9%) in the Daecheon population and 84 (7.1%) in the Wonsan population. 407 shared loci by each population, with an average of 58.1 per primer, were observed in the ASPD population. 473 shared loci by each population, with an average of 67.6 per primer, were identified in the ASPW population. The numbers of specific loci in the ASPD and ASPW population were 137 and 84, respectively. Consequently, the average bandsharing value of individuals within the ASPW population was much higher than in the ASPD population. The bandsharing value between individuals’ no. 08 and no. 13 was 0.628, which was the highest measured between the two geographical populations. The dendrogram obtained by the seven primers indicated three genetic clusters: cluster 1 (DAECHEON 01 ~ DAECHEON 11), cluster 2 (WONSAN 12 and 14) and cluster 3 (WONSAN 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22). The genetic distance between the two geographical populations ranged from 0.043 to 0.499. Especially, individual no. 10 of Daecheon population was most distantly related to no. 14 of Wonsan population (genetic distance = 0. 499).
