Morphological and Genetic Variability Among Mpasa (Opsaridium Microlepis Günther, 1864) Populations from the Inflow Rivers of Lake Malawi
Vol. 9(5), pp. 52-58, May 2017 DOI: 10.5897/IJFA2017.0626 Article Number: DA53A7D64598 International Journal of Fisheries and ISSN 2006-9839 Copyright ©2017 Aquaculture Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/IJFA Full Length Research Paper Morphological and genetic variability among Mpasa (Opsaridium microlepis Günther, 1864) populations from the inflow rivers of Lake Malawi Daud Kassam1*, Wisdom Changadeya2, Hamad Stima1, Wilson Jere1 and Emmanuel Kaunda1 1Aquaculture and Fisheries Science Department, Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Bunda Campus, P. O. Box 219, Lilongwe, Malawi. 2Molecular Biology and Ecology Research Unit (MBERU) DNA Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Chancellor College, University of Malawi, P. O. Box 280, Zomba, Malawi. Received 24 March, 2017; Accepted 19 May, 2017 Fisheries management continues to be a nightmare due to over exploitation of fish stocks and various anthropogenic activities resulting in a reduction of genetic resources. Opsaridium microlepis, a commercially exploited fish species from Lake Malawi, is no exception, hence it is listed as endangered. Opsaridium microlepis stocks from four different rivers were analyzed using 13 geometric morphometric landmarks and 20 microsatellite loci, to determine if the stocks were morphologically and/or genetically different. AMOVA performed on DNA data revealed a significant (P < 0.001) genetic differentiation with 16.4% of the total genetic variance ascribed to differences among populations, and 83.6% due to differences within population. This finding was supported by higher pairwise FST values (FST = 0.17). MANOVA of morphological data showed significant body shape variation among the stocks (Wilk’s λ = 0.0913; P < 0.0001). -

Circular No. 65 9^ RUSSIAN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY OF NAMES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AND RELATED TERMS ^5, Compiled by W. E. Ricker Fisheries Research Board of Canada Nanaimo, B.C. August, 1962 FOREWORD This short Russian-English glossary is meant to be of assistance in translating scientific articles in the fields of aquatic biology and the study of fishes and fisheries. j^ Definitions have been obtained from a variety of sources. For the names of fishes, the text volume of "Commercial Fishes of the USSR" provided English equivalents of many Russian names. Others were found in Berg's "Freshwater Fishes", and in works by Nikolsky (1954), Galkin (1958), Borisov and Ovsiannikov (1958), Martinsen (1959), and others. The kinds of fishes most emphasized are the larger species, especially those which are of importance as food fishes in the USSR, hence likely to be encountered in routine translating. However, names of a number of important commercial species in other parts of the world have been taken from Martinsen's list. For species for which no recognized English name was discovered, I have usually given either a transliteration or a translation of the Russian name; these are put in quotation marks to distinguish them from recognized English names. -
A Bibliography and an Index List on Parasites and Parasitic Diseases of Fish in Northern Europe
A bibliography and an index list on parasites and parasitic diseases of fish in Northern Europe OLEG PUGACHEV Zoological Institute Russian Academy of Scienses St.Petersburg, Russia HANS-PETER FAGERHOLM Institute of Parasitology Department of Biology Åbo Akademi University Åbo, Finland & Parasitology Laboratory Department of Pathology National Veterinary and Food Research Institutue, Helsinki, Finland ISBN 951-650-506-6 1 INTRODUCTION In 1988 a symposium on "Parasites of freshwater fishes of North-West Europe" was arranged in Petrozavodsk in connection with a co-operation project between Russian (then Soviet) and Finnish scientists. During the meeting it was stated that it would be of importance to compile literature data from the northern Europe on parasites and parasitic diseases of fish. One reason for this is the fact that in countries outside Russia, the Russian literature, due to the language, is usually not well known. Also some early, especially Scandinavian, investigations have remained unnoticed as they were published in a Nordic language only. A bibliography on fish parasites and diseases, covering the geographical area in question, is likely to be useful today as the interest in fish parasitology has increased substantially in recent years. It is, in addition, feasible to produce such a work now because of the new efficient means to deal with bibliographic information given by present day computers. We hope that the bibliography will be of use to scientists and students alike. As the titles of publications originally given in Russian or Nordic languages have been translated into English we hope that this will promote the availability of this literature. -

Department of $0i>\J(>C& HA^^tfS^vs^Y fi$t> EfrM/z^MEK"77*2- Z^**^ The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Lake Malawi is one of the most species-rich freshwater bodies in the world. Conservation of aquatic resources in the lake, however, competes with the need to provide for food and livelihood for a majority of adjacent fishing communities. The lake is therefore impacted by both anthropogenic and environmental factors. This study looks at the changes in the fisheries of Lake Malawi between 1976 and 1996 using ecosystem-based analyses. -

Genetic Diversity and Structure of Potamodromous Opsaridium Microlepis (Günther) Populations in the In- Let Rivers of Lake Malawi

Box 219, Lilongwe, Malawi. Accepted 21 November, 2013 Studies were carried out to determine the genetic diversity and structure of endangered Opsaridium microlepis (Mpasa) populations in the affluent rivers of Lake Malawi; Linthipe, Bua, Dwangwa and North Rukuru. A total of 200 DNA samples of O. microlepis from four river populations were analyzed at 20 microsatellite loci. The primers’ discriminating power was high (mean PIC, 0.76) yielding a total of 295 alleles with a range of 10-22 and an average of 15 alleles per locus. All the populations were not in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium probably due to outbreeding that leads to heterozygosity excess. This observation was further supported by heterozygosity excess exhibited by 100% of the population-locus combinations (mean FIS, -0.30) and lack of evidence for genetic bottleneck. The populations exhibited high genetic diversity as evidenced by high mean Shannon information Index (I=1.64) and high observed heterozygosity (Ho = 0.98). -
