Abstract

The eleven local samples of six species including Corbicula leana examined in this study were collected from the Nam River and the Nakdong River in Korea. Buzas's new formula was used to evaluate the ecological biodiversity among eleven populations and six species. In addition, enzyme electrophoresis was used to genetic diversity within and among populations of C. leana. The upper populations of the river have fewer species than the middle and low populations of this river. The genetic diversity trends to increase from the source of the main river to the mouth. It suggests that the population of downstream might be expanded toward upstream.
