Genetic evaluation of marine biogeographical barriers: perspectives from two widespread Indo-Pacific snappers (Lutjanus kasmira and Lutjanus fulvus)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim In the Indo-Pacific, the mass of islands of the Indonesian archipelago constitute a major biogeographical barrier (the Indo-Pacific Barrier, IPB) separating the Pacific and Indian oceans. Evidence for other, more localized barriers include high rates of endemism at the Marquesas and other isolated peripheral islands in the Pacific. Here we use mitochondrial-sequence comparisons to evaluate the efficacy of biogeographical barriers on populations of the snappers Lutjanus kasmira and Lutjanus fulvus across their natural ranges.

Coming out of the starting blocks: extended lag time rearranges genetic diversity in introduced marine fishes of Hawai'i.
Biological invasions with known histories are rare, especially in the sea, and empirical studies of the genetic consequences are even rarer. Fifty-five years ago, the state of Hawai'i began a remarkable, if unintentional, 'experiment' with the introduction of three reef fishes, Lutjanus fulvus, Cephalopholis argus and Lutjanus kasmira. All have since expanded from the initial introduction of 22...
متن کاملGenetic consequences of introducing allopatric lineages of Bluestriped Snapper (Lutjanus kasmira) to Hawaii.
A half century ago the State of Hawaii began a remarkable, if unintentional, experiment on the population genetics of introduced species, by releasing 2431 Bluestriped Snappers (Lutjanus kasmira) from the Marquesas Islands in 1958 and 728 conspecifics from the Society Islands in 1961. By 1992 L. kasmira had spread across the entire archipelago, including locations 2000 km from the release site....
متن کاملThe first record of cubera snapper Lutjanus cyanopterus culture in Brazil
The Brazilian marine fish culture probably began in the seventeenth century, during the Dutch government of Maurice of Nassau, in Pernambuco, when the activity was introduced in the region. At that time, snook (Centropomus sp), mullet ́s (Mugil sp) and “carapebas” (Eugerres sp and Diapterus sp) were cultivated extensively inside tide ponds (Cavalli and Hamilton 2007). According to Brugger (1995)...

Big eye snapper is one of the important species of snappers from (Lutjanidae) family. This fish is resident of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea and is edible. Study reproduction in Lujanus lutjanus was conducted in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman from December 2014 to November 2015. Sampling was conducted at 14 stations using trawl and trap monthly. In this study, the total number of samples was 247,...

A survey of the monogeneans of fishes from the lagoon flats of Palmyra Atoll detected 16 species already reported from the Indo-West Pacific faunal region. A total of 653 individual fish from 44 species were collected from the sand flats bordering the lagoon of the atoll. Eighteen species of fish were infected with monogeneans. The monogenean species recovered were: Benedenia hawaiiensis on Aca...
