Population genetic structure of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis from the Indian coast using sequence analysis of the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region.

چکیده
Genetic structure of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis from the Indian region was investigated using sequence data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region. A total of 315 individuals were sampled from six major fishing grounds around the east and west coasts of India including the Andaman (Port Blair) and Lakshadweep (Minicoy) Islands. Nucleotide and gene diversities were high in all the sample collections. Significant genetic heterogeneity was observed for the mtDNA sequence data among sites (φ(ST) = 0·0273, P < 0·001). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed significant genetic variation among four groups (φ(CT) = 0·0261, P < 0·05) which was also supported by spatial AMOVA results. The null hypothesis of single panmictic population of K. pelamis along the Indian coast can thus be rejected. Phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA sequence data showed the presence of four clades of K. pelamis in the Indian waters. There was no clear pattern, however, of haplotypes and geographic location among samples. The results of this study suggest the occurrence of four genetically differentiated groups of K. pelamis across the coastal waters of India.

Close genetic similarity of Atlantic and Pacific skipjack tuna ( Katsuwonus pelamis ) demonstrated with restriction endonuclease analysis of mitochondrial DNA
Restriction endonuclease analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicated a surprisingly high degree of genetic similarity between skipjack tuna (KarsuLcorzus pe/urni.r) from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The present results (1983) support the findings of previous morphological and electrophoretic studies. Evidently. since the uplift of the Panama land bridge about 3.1 million years ago, there has be...

This study aimed to investigate the quality of effluent water of a large shrimp farming complex in Chabahar region in Sistan and Baluchestan province (Iran). Fifteen sampling stations were designated in three distinct areas of these farms i.e. the water supply canal, the drainage canal and the receiving area of the farm effluents in Gwatar Gulf. Water samples were taken from June to December ...
متن کاملSequence Variations of Mitochondrial DNA Displacement-Loop in Iranian Indigenous Sheep Breeds
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively to study population genetics because it has the unique features of maternal inheritance, a relatively fast rate of evolution and lack of recombination. A total of 82 unrelated sheep from 10 Iranian indigenous sheep breeds were investigated to determinate the maternal genetic diversity using a sequence of a 685 bp segment of the displacement lo...

Numerous reports on existence of white cysts in musculature of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis and lack of information about the quality of cysts and individual responses of fish to them led the authors to focus on this fish as a commercially valuable species. This study investigated the histopathologic responses of skipjack tuna to highly prevalent cystic larval stages of Trypanorhyncha. Some...
