  • Recruitment in Anemonefishes
    Interspecific, Spatial and Temporal Variability of Self- Recruitment in Anemonefishes Hawis H. Madduppa1*, Janne Timm2, Marc Kochzius3 1 Marine Science and Technology, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Bogor, Indonesia, 2 Biotechnology and Molecular Genetics, University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany, 3 Marine Biology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium Abstract Polymorphic microsatellite DNA parentage analysis was used to investigate the spatio-temporal variability of self- recruitment in populations of two anemonefishes: Amphiprion ocellaris and A. perideraion. Tissue samples of A. ocellaris (n = 364) and A. perideraion (n = 105) were collected from fringing reefs around two small islands (Barrang Lompo and Samalona) in Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia. Specimens were genotyped based on seven microsatellite loci for A. ocellaris and five microsatellite loci for A. perideraion, and parentage assignment as well as site fidelity were calculated. Both species showed high levels of self-recruitment: 65.2% of juvenile A. ocellaris in Samalona were the progeny of parents from the same island, while on Barrang Lompo 47.4% of A. ocellaris and 46.9% of A. perideraion juveniles had parents from that island. Self-recruitment of A. ocellaris in Barrang Lompo varied from 44% to 52% between the two sampling periods. The site fidelity of A. ocellaris juveniles that returned to their reef site in Barang Lompo was up to 44%, while for A. perideraion up to 19%. In Samalona, the percentage of juveniles that returned to their natal reef site ranged from 8% to 11%. Exchange of progeny between the two study islands, located 7.5 km apart, was also detected via parentage assignments.

  • Seed Production and Culture of Marine Ornamental Fishes G
    Course Manual Seed Production and Culture of Marine Ornamental Fishes G. Gopakumar, A. K. Abdul Nazar and R. Jayakumar Mandapam Regional Centre of CMFRI Mandapam Camp - 623 520, Tamil Nadu, India Introduction The marine ornamental fish trade has been expanding in recent years and has grown into a multimillion dollar enterprise. The ornamental animals are the highest valued products that are mostly harvested from coral reef environments. The global marine ornamental trade is estimated at US$ 200-330 million. The trade is operated throughout the tropics. Philippines, Indonesia, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Australia, Fiji, Maldives and Palau supplied more than 98% of the total number of marine ornamental fish exported in recent years. It is a multi-stakeholder industry ranging from specimen collectors, culturists, wholesalers, transhippers, retailers, and hobbyists to researchers, government resource managers and conservators and hence involves a series of issues to be addressed and policies to be formulated for developing and expanding a sustainable trade. It is well understood that a long term sustainable trade of marine ornamental fishes can be developed only through the development and commercialization of hatchery production technologies for the species which are in high demand in the trade. Global scenario In recent years it has been reported that nearly 1500 species of marine ornamental fishes are traded globally and most of these are associated with coral reefs. Nearly 98% of the marine ornamental fishes marketed are wild collected from coral reefs of tropical countries. Among the most commercially traded families of reef fishes, family Pomacentridae dominate, accounting for nearly 43% of all fish traded.

  • An Analysis of Microsatellite DNA Variation in Amphiprion Percula

An analysis of microsatellite DNA variation in Amphiprion percula PETER M. BUSTON,* STEVEN M. BOGDANOWICZ,† ALEX WONG‡ and RICHARD G. HARRISON† *Estación Biológica de Doñana, C.S.I.C., Avenida de Maria Luisa s/n Pabellón del Perú, 41013 Sevilla, Spain, †Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Corson Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA, ‡Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, Biotechnology Building, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract A central question of evolutionary ecology is: why do animals live in groups? Answering this question requires that the costs and benefits of group living are measured from the perspective of each individual in the group. This, in turn, requires that the group’s genetic structure is elucidated, because genetic relatedness can modulate the individuals’ costs and benefits. The clown anemonefish, Amphiprion percula, lives in groups composed of a breeding pair and zero to four nonbreeders. Both breeders and nonbreeders stand to gain by associating with relatives: breeders might prefer to tolerate nonbreeders that are relatives because there is little chance that relatives will survive to breed elsewhere; nonbreeders might prefer to associate with breeders that are relatives because of the potential to accrue indirect genetic benefits by enhancing anemone and, consequently, breeder fitness. Given the potential benefits of associating with relatives, we use microsatellite loci to investigate whether or not individuals within groups of A. percula are related. We develop seven polymorphic microsatellite loci, with a number of alleles (range 2–24) and an observed level of heterozygosity (mean = 0.5936) sufficient to assess fine-scale genetic structure.

In Thai culture, even in present day, there is a phrase usually use for describing wealthy of biodiversity resources as “in waters (there was) plenty of fish and in paddy field plenty of rice”. Locating on the felicitous geography, Thailand is noticed as one of the world’s bounties on natural biodiversity resources and being rank as the first twentieth country those posses the world’s most abundant on biodiversity. Thai people has subsisted on and derived their tradition as well as culture with local biodiversity. It might be said that from being delivered to buried, Thai people would be associated with biodiversity. Biodiversity is important to Thai people for several dimensions such as food, herbal medicine, part of worship or ritual ceremony, main sector for national income and part of basement knowledge for development of science and technology. Furthermore, biodiversity also be important part of beautiful scenario which is the most important component of country tourism industry. Biodiversity is important to Thailand as follows: Important of biodiversity as food resources As rice is main carbohydrate source for Thai people, thence Thailand presume to a nation that retain excellent knowledge base about rice such as culture techniques, breeding and strain selection, geographical proper varieties, postharvest technology such as storage technique and also processing technologies for example.
