DNA barcoding of morid cods reveals deep divergence in the antitropical Halargyreus johnsoni but little distinction between Antimora rostrata and Antimora microlepis.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIMS DNA barcoding strongly suggests that specimens of the slender codling (Halargyreus johnsonii) from New Zealand and Tasmania belong to a different species to H. johnsonii reported from other areas. RESULTS Sequence divergence between the two groups averaged 3.95%, much higher than within-group divergences of 0.03 and 0.02% for specimens, respectively, from New Zealand-Tasmania and from the North Pacific, Atlantic Ocean, and Southern Ocean. CONCLUSION Meristic data for specimens from New Zealand and from the Southern Ocean north of the Ross Sea support the conclusion of two species. DNA barcodes for two sister taxa, Antimora rostrata and Antimora microlepis, show low intra-species (0.3-0.06%) and inter-species (0.23%) divergence.

Distribution and Biology of Blue Hake (Antimora rostrata Gunther 1878) in the Northwest Atlantic with Comparison to Adjacent Areas
Blue hake (Antimora rostrata) is a globally distributed species found in most slope waters around the world Based on commercial fisheries data (it was found to be a common bycatch) and research survey records, this study examines the distribution and aspects of the biology of blue hake in Canadian waters. It forms a continuous distribution in slope waters from the US/Canada border in the south ...
متن کاملComposition of lipid foams from swim bladders of two deep ocean fish species.
Lipid-containing deposits within the swim bladders of Coryphaenoides acrolepis and Antimora rostrata were investigated. Lipid analysis of this material, which was quite uniform from the two species, yielded the following data: neutral lipids, 36.0-41.7%; phospholipids, 53.6-56.7%; and glycolipids, 4.3-8.9%. Cholesterol (mainly in the free form) constituted 60.4%-77.8% of the neutral lipids. Sph...

Background: Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a common but very expensive herbal medicine. As an important traditional medicine, it has an outstanding effect in treating irregular and painful menstruation. Recently, the over-demand tendency of saffron results in an unusual phenomenon in the medicinal markets. Adulterants and saffron-like substitutes are intentionally mixed into medicinal markets a...
متن کاملAppraisal of the entire mitochondrial genome for DNA barcoding in birds
DNA barcoding based on a standardized region of 648 base pairs of mitochondrial DNAsequences from Cytochrome C Oxidase 1 (COX1) is proposed for animal species identification.Recent studies suggested that DNA barcoding has been effective for identifying 94% of birdspecies. The proposed threshold of 10 times the average intraspecific variation could be used forthe identification and delimitation ...
متن کاملEctoparasitism on deep-sea fishes in the western North Atlantic: In situ observations from ROV surveys
A complete understanding of how parasites influence marine ecosystem functioning requires characterizing a broad range of parasite-host interactions while determining the effects of parasitism in a variety of habitats. In deep-sea fishes, the prevalence of parasitism remains poorly understood. Knowledge of ectoparasitism, in particular, is limited because collection methods often cause dislodgm...
