Real-time PCR identification of lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

چکیده
The purpose of this study was to develop a real-time PCR assay to specifically identify lake whitefish Coregonus clupeaformis in larval fish assemblages based on a 122 bp amplicon from the mitochondrial genome. The efficiency of the reaction, as calculated from the standard curve, was 90.77% with the standard curve having an r(2) value of 0.998. Specificity of the assay provided single melt peak in a melt-curve analysis and amplification of only the target species. The assay successfully identified target DNA in as low as 0.1% proportion of a DNA mixture. This assay was designed on the portable Smart Cycler II platform and can be used in both field and laboratory settings to successfully identify C. clupeaformis.

Application of Statistical Catch-at-Age Models to Assess Lake Whitefish Stocks in the 1836 Treaty- Ceded Waters of the Upper Great Lakes
Commercial-fishery statistics were integrated with biological data from the fishery to develop statistical catchat-age models of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) in the 1836 treaty-ceded waters of the upper Great Lakes. Fishery yield and effort were adjusted to account for underreporting and increases in height of gillnets. Biological inputs to models included maturity, age composition, ...

Few studies have applied NGS methods to investigate the microbiome of vertebrates in their natural environment and in freshwater fishes in particularly. Here, we used pyrosequencing of the 16S gene rRNA to (i) test for differences in kidney bacterial communities (i.e. microbiota) of dwarf and normal whitefish found as sympatric pairs, (ii) test the hypothesis of higher bacterial diversity in no...
متن کاملBAC library construction, screening and clone sequencing of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis, Salmonidae) towards the elucidation of adaptive species divergence.
Genomic DNA sequences and other genomic resources are essential towards the elucidation of the genomic bases of adaptive divergence and reproductive isolation. Here, we describe the construction, characterization and screening of a nonarrayed BAC library for lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis). We then show how the combined use of BAC library screening and next-generation sequencing can lea...
متن کاملThe influence of changing climate on the ecology and management of selected Laurentian Great Lakes fisheries.
The Laurentian Great Lakes Basin provides an ecological system to evaluate the potential effect of climate change on dynamics of fish populations and the management of their fisheries. This review describes the physical and biological mechanisms by which fish populations will be affected by changes in timing and duration of ice cover, precipitation events and temperature regimes associated with...

The evolution of reproductive isolation in an ecological context may involve multiple facets of species divergence on which divergent selection may operate. These include variation in quantitative phenotypic traits, regulation of gene expression, and differential transmission of particular allelic combinations. Thus, an integrative approach to the speciation process involves identifying the gen...
