چکیده

Eighteen new microsatellite loci consisting of 10 di-, 5 tri-, 2 tetra- and 1 heptanucleotide repeats are introduced for the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.). All loci were co-amplified in two polymerase chain reactions (plus two previously published microsatellites) and all products were typed clearly. The number of alleles per locus ranged from six (PGmo130) to 45 (PGmo76) and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.356 (PGmo130) to 0.957 (PGmo95). All loci except one followed Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Genetic linkage disequilibrium analysis between all pairs of loci did not yield any significant values.

Adaptation to Low Salinity Promotes Genomic Divergence in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua L.)

How genomic selection enables species to adapt to divergent environments is a fundamental question in ecology and evolution. We investigated the genomic signatures of local adaptation in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) along a natural salinity gradient, ranging from 35‰ in the North Sea to 7‰ within the Baltic Sea. By utilizing a 12 K SNPchip, we simultaneously assessed neutral and adaptive gene...

Genetic population structure and gene flow in the Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: a comparison of allozyme and nuclear RFLP loci.

High levels of gene flow have been implicated in producing uniform patterns of allozyme variation among populations of many marine fish species. We have examined whether gene flow is responsible for the limited population structure in the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L., by comparing the previously published patterns of variation at 10 allozyme loci to 17 nuclear restriction fragment length polym...

Genetic diversity within and among Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) farmed in marine cages: a proof-of-concept study for the identification of escapees

This study presents a molecular genetic characterization of Atlantic cod reared in commercial marine farms. Samples consisted of approximately 47 fish collected from nine cages located on four farms throughout Norway. In addition, 28 farmed escapees were recaptured in the sea (443 fish in total). Nine microsatellite loci and the Pan I gene were analysed, revealing a total of 181 alleles. Each s...

Population genetic structure in Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) from the North Atlantic and Barents Sea: contrasting or concordant patterns in mtDNA sequence and microsatellite data?

We summarize the results of studies of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from the North Atlantic and adjacent areas. Population genetic structures in the Northwest and Northeast Atlantic and Barents Sea differ markedly. Whereas all populations from the Northwest Atlantic are dominated by a single common genotype and show low haplotype and nucleotide diversity, ...

The behavioural and physiological response of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L. to short-term acute hypoxia

The average rate of swimming speed and the physiological status or stress of individual Atlantic cod Gadus morhua was monitored in response to short-term acute (STA) hypoxia (i.e. partial pressure of oxygen, PO2 , reduced from 20 9 to 4 3 kPa within 1 h at 10° C). The STA hypoxic response of Atlantic cod was associated with a large primary increase (þ29%) and a large secondary decrease ( 54%) i...
