  • Cytogenetic Analysis of Global Populations of Mugil Cephalus (Striped Mullet) by Different Staining Techniques and Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization
    Heredity 76 (1996) 77—82 Received 30 May 1995 Cytogenetic analysis of global populations of Mugil cephalus (striped mullet) by different staining techniques and fluorescent in situ hybridization ANNA RITA ROSSI, DONATELLA CROSETTIt, EKATERINA GORNUNG & LUCIANA SOLA* Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Rome 7, Via A. Bore/li 50, 00161 Rome and tICRAM, Central Institute for Marine Research, Via L. Respighi 5, 00197 Rome, Italy Thepresent paper reports the results of cytogenetic analysis carried out on several scattered populations of the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, the most widespead among mugilid species. The karyotype was investigated through Ag-staining, C-banding, fluorochrome-staining (chro- momycin A3/DAPI) and fluorescent in situ hybridization with rDNA genes. All populations showed the same chromosome number and morphology and no changes were detected in heterochromatin and NORs. Therefore, neither population- nor sex-specific marker chromo- somes were identified. In some of the specimens, NOR size heteromorphism was detected. Results are discussed with respect to karyotype and ribosomal cistrons organization and to cytotaxonomic implications. Keywords:cytotaxonomy,FISH, heterochromatin, karyotype, NOR. Although the karyotype of M cephalus is already Introduction known (Table 1), there are no data from differential Thestriped mullet, Mugil cephalus, is the most wide- staining techniques, except for observations on spread among mugilid species, and inhabits the trop- nucleolar organizer regions (NOR5) by Amemiya & ical and subtropical seas of the world.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

These analyses suggested the paraphyly of the genus Liza and also that the separation of Liza, Chelon and Oedalechilus might be unnatural. Moreover, all the species of the genus Mugil plus orthologs of Crenimugil crenilabis clustered together; however, molecular analyses suggested possible introgressions in Mugil cephalus and moreover, that fish identified as Mugil curema could correspond to two different species as already shown by karyotypic analyses. Keywords: Mugilidae, grey mullets, mitochondrial DNA, Mugil cephalus, introgression. INTRODUCTION We have focused this study on Mugilid species for which both cytochrome b (cytb) and 16S rDNA mtDNA sequences The family Mugilidae, commonly referred to as grey have been already published. Their geographic distributions mullets, includes several species which have a worldwide are briefly presented here. Oedalechilus labeo is limited to distribution; they inhabit marine, estuarine, and freshwater the Mediterranean Sea and the Moroccan Atlantic coast, environments at all latitudes except the Polar Regions [1]; a whereas, Liza and Chelon inhabit also the Eastern Atlantic few spend all their lives in freshwater [2].

  • Bait Fisheries Serving the Marine Recreational Fisheries of Puerto Rico
    LEGORE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATES, INC. BAIT FISHERIES SERVING THE MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES OF PUERTO RICO by Steve LeGore, Ph.D. Submitted to: Department of Natural and Environmental Resources Marine Resources Division San Juan, Puerto Rico Reference: DNER Contract Number 133-06000965 For Grant F-54 Contract Register Number 27-3-06 Submitted by: LeGore Environmental Associates, Inc. 2804 Gulf Drive Holmes Beach, FL 34217 Tel: (941) 778-4650 [email protected] Technical Report No. 06-113F May 11, 2007 PROLOGUE The author is grateful for the assistance and participation of several individuals, each making valuable contributions to the efforts described in this document. The program was initiated in coordination with Dr. Craig Lilyestrom of the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), who has consistently supported the successful completion of this effort. He also reviewed a draft of this report prior to its finalization. Representatives of the commercial guided marine recreational fisher and bait fisher communities were very supportive, although some components of the non-commercial recreational community were more reticent. Mr. Jorge Casillas, a graduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, Mr. Eloy Martinez, an aspiring graduate student recently accepted at the University of South Florida, and Ms. Maria Camacho-Rodríguez of the DNER were of great help with certain logistic arrangements and in conducting certain interviews. Messrs. Mark Hardin and Frank Hearne provided helpful assistance and advice, and Christopher LeGore assisted with photographic production. Finally, Mr. Jose M. Berríos served as Contract Manager for DNER, as ably assisted by Ms. Aitza Pabón. All of these contributions were essential to the successful conduct of this effort, and all are appreciated.

  • Karyological Characterization of Mugil Trichodon Poey, 1876 (Pisces: Mugilidae)*

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell'Uomo, Università di Roma "La Sapienza", Via A. Borelli 50, 00161 Roma, Italia. SUMMARY: Cytogenetic studies were conducted on Mugil trichodon from Margarita Island, Venezuela. The species showed a karyotype 2n=48 with entirely acrocentric chromosomes (Arm number, NF=48). Chromosomes gradually decreased in size and did not allow a clear distinction of homologues, except for one marker pair, which showed a conspic- uous secondary constriction. C-banding showed heterochromatic blocks restricted at the centromeric regions of all the chro- mosomes. Some were more obvious than others, with the exception of the chromosome pair that had a secondary constric- tion with entirely heterochromatic short arms. Sequential staining with Giemsa and AgNO3 demonstrated the conspicuous secondary constrictions corresponding to the NORs, and these had significant intraindividual size variations between both homologous chromosomes. The data obtained here support the contention that Mugilidae have a conservative chromosome macrostructure and reinforce the hypothesis that small structural chromosome rearrangements involving active NOR sites are the main cause of the karyotypic diversification seen in this group. Keywords: karyotype, NOR, C-banding, Mugil trichodon. RESUMEN: CARACTERIZACIÓN CARIOLÓGICA DE MUGIL TRICHODON POEY, 1876 (PISCES: MUGILIDAE). – Se presenta el estu- dio citogenético de Mugil trichodon de la Isla de Margarita, Venezuela.

  • Identification of Juveniles of Grey Mullet Species (Teleostei

These analyses have shown that juveniles are L. aurata individuals; phylogenetic analyses supported this grouping with very high bootstrap values and also shown evidence of gene flow between Atlantic and Mediterranean populations. Moreover, phylogenetic analyses were congruent with the analyses of the number of pyloric caeca. As mugilid juveniles for aquaculture are still obtained from wild stocks, these data provided a valuable baseline for further investigations on identification of these fish. Moreover, using the polymerase chain reaction, sufficient DNA for phylogenetic analyses can be amplified from very small portions of caudal fins and these samples can be collected without sacrificing individuals, which is one important requirement for the study of species that young fry is used for stocking lagoons and lakes.
