Abstract:

Black Pomfret (Parastromateus niger) is one of the commercially important pelagic fishes of the southern coasts of Iran. Its stocks are decreasing due to over exploitation, pollution and lack of fishing management programs. In order to assess the population size of this species and to preserve its valuable genetic resources, genetic structure of 32 fish samples was investigated using AFLP markersin Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Abadan locations from coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. The results showed a total of 205 AFLP bands of which 37 bands were polymorph. The percentage of polymorphic loci in samples of Bandar Abbas (81.08%) was low compared to Bushehr (94.59%) and Abadan samples (86.49%). Nei’s genetic diversity and Shannon’s index were lowest and highest in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr populations, respectively. AMOVA revealed that 86% of genetic variations were within populations and 14% among them. With regard to the amount of Fst (0.09- 0.18) and limited gene flow (1.09- 2.54) between populations, it can be concluded that there is probably three different populations of black Pomfret in Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Abadan locationsin Persian Gulf.

Application of AFLP molecular marker for genetic analysis of black pomfret Parastromateus niger from the Persian Gulf

Black pomfret Parastromateus niger is a commercially important fishery resource in the Persian Gulf but harvesting its stocks lacks genetic identification of populations. AFLP technique was applied to analyze genetic diversity and population structure of 32 fish from coastal waters of Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Abadan with 7 EcoRI/MseI primer pair combinations. In total, 381 bands were produced ...

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, As, Cd) in external and internal organs of black pomfret (Parastromateus niger) in the northwest of Persian Gulf

The major objective of this study was to investigate heavy metal content of black pomfret (Parastromateus niger ). The concentrations of Zn, Cu, As and Cd were determined in external (gill and shell) and internal organs (muscle and liver) of black pomfret in northwest of Persian Gulf in summer 2013. A total of 60 specimens were collected from fishing bottom trawlers. Concentrations of these hea...

Investigation of genetic diversity and DNA barcoding of two species (Rachycentron canadum) and (Parastromateus niger) in the Persian Gulf

The aim of this research was to better understand the distribution patterns of parents, larvae and also to obtain barcode records for Rachycentron canadum and Parastromateus niger species according to the species reported from around the world. Sampling was done from two areas of Bandar Mahshahr in Khuzestan province and Bandar-Abbas in Hormozgan province and according to the main fishing point...

Genetic diversity of Neotyphodium fungal endophytes in three Iranian grass species using AFLP molecular markers

Genetic diversity of fungal endophytes, Neotyphodium species, was studied in grasses Festuca arundinacea, F. pratensis and Lolium perenne using AFLP  markers. Fungi were isolated from the host leaf sheaths and Neotyphodium species were selected based on morphological characteristics. To confirm identity of selected fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium, polymerase chain reaction was perform...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Some Iranian Populations of Bunium persicum Using RAPD and AFLP Markers

The genetic diversity of 20 Iranian populations of Bunium persicum has been evaluated with random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Fresh leaves of seedlings from each population were used for genomic DNA extraction. Analysis of banding patterns of 15 RAPD primers and 17 AFLP primer combinations, revealed 192 (86%) and 228 (75%) polymorp...
