    Development of Microsatellite Markers in Cape Hakes, Merluccius

    Evaluating the resolution power of new microsatellites for species identification and stock delimitation in the Cape hakes Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis (Teleostei: Merlucciidae) T. B. HOAREAU*, A. W. KLOPPER, S. M. R. DOS SANTOS, C. J. OOSTHUIZEN AND P. BLOOMER Molecular Ecology and Evolution Programme, Department of Genetics, University of Pretoria, Private bag X20, Hatfield, 0028, South Africa. *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: Tel. +27 12 420 3871; Fax. +27 12 362 5327; email: [email protected] Abstract The utility of 15 new and 17 previously published microsatellite markers was evaluated for species identification and stock delimitation in the deep-water hake Merluccius paradoxus and the shallow-water hake Merluccius capensis. A total of 14 microsatellites was polymorphic in M. paradoxus and 10 in M. capensis. Two markers could individually discriminate the species using Bayesian clustering methods and a statistical power analysis showed that the set of markers for each species is likely to detect subtle genetic differentiation (FST < 0.006), which will be valuable to delimit and characterise genetic stocks. Key words: Bayesian methods; cross-species amplification; genetic markers; genomic library; power analysis 1 Both the shallow-water hake Merluccius capensis Castelnau, 1861 and the deep-water hake M. paradoxus Franca, 1960 are targeted by a valuable demersal fishery along the west coasts of Southern Africa (>100 million USD annually; Butterworth & Rademeyer, 2005), but the intensification of exploitation over recent decades caused a resource decline (Payne & Punt, 1995). Due to their morphological similarity and overlapping distribution, the two species are not distinguished in the commercial landings records (von der Heyden et al., 2007b) and they are combined into geographic managements units, namely Namibia, west coast and south coast of South Africa (Butterworth & Rademeyer, 2005).

Preciado*, A. Punzón and F. Velasco IEO Centro Oceanográfico de Santander, Promontorio San Martín, s/n, P. O. Box 240, 39080 Santander, Spain (Received 1 August 2014, Accepted 14 January 2015) Cannibalistic behaviour of European hake Merluccius merluccius was studied through the analysis of 49 836 gut contents belonging to individuals from 6 to 82 cm in total length (LT). Samples were col- lected every autumn between 1993 and 2009. The results showed that the consumption of conspecific individuals was consistent over space and time. The abundance, spatial distribution patterns and LT structure of M. merluccius recruits were the main variables involved in M. merluccius cannibalism. A geographical pattern was found since increasing cannibalism was observed in areas of recruit aggre- gations. The LT spectrum of recruits in autumn was also a key factor and dependent on the spawning period. When adults spawned from late spring to summer, an increasing cannibalism trend was found in autumn, due to the ideal size structure of the prey (M. merluccius recruits) for predators. Depth was also a significant variable, and a cannibal peak was detected at depths ranging between 50and 200 m, coinciding with a spatial overlap of predator (pre-adults) and prey (recruits). The cannibalistic behaviour of M.

Smith RHODES UNIVERSITY GRAHAMSTOWN, SOUTH AFRICA April 1975 COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES OF THE FISHES OF SOUTHERN AFRICA PART I MARINE FISHES by Margaret M. Smith INTRODUCTION In earlier times along South Africa’s 3 000 km coastline were numerous isolated communities. Interested in angling and pursuing commercial fishing on a small scale, the inhabitants gave names to the fishes that they caught. First, in 1652, came the Dutch Settlers who gave names of well-known European fishes to those that they found at the Cape. Names like STEENBRAS, KABELJOU, SNOEK, etc., are derived from these. Malay slaves and freemen from the East brought their names with them, and many were manufactured or adapted as the need arose. The Afrikaans names for the Cape fishes are relatively uniform. Only as the distance increases from the Cape — e.g. at Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Port Elizabeth, do they exhibit alteration. The English names started in the Eastern Province and there are different names for the same fish at towns or holiday resorts sometimes not 50 km apart. It is therefore not unusual to find one English name in use at the Cape, another at Knysna, and another at Port Elizabeth differing from that at East London. The Transkeians use yet another name, and finally Natal has a name quite different from all the rest. The indigenous peoples of South Africa contributed practically no names to the fishes, as only the early Strandlopers were fish eaters and we know nothing of their language.
  • Phylogenetic Prospecting for Cryptic Species of the Genus Merluccius

    Phylogenetic Prospecting for Cryptic Species of the Genus Merluccius

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Phylogenetic prospecting for cryptic species of the genus Merluccius (Actinopterygii: Merlucciidae) Montse Pérez1, María Fernández‑Míguez1,2, Jesús Matallanas3, Domingo Lloris4 & Pablo Presa2* Hakes of the genus Merluccius include 11 valid species as well a number of rare morphotypes suspected to be “cryptic species”. Concatenated nucDNA ITS1‑rDNA and mtDNA cyt b sequences plus nested ITS1Nes sequences allowed to ascribe 14 specimens of nine rare morphotypes from the South Pacifc and the South Atlantic to the phylogenetic backbone of this genus. Bayesian analyses pointed to M. bilinearis and M. albidus as the oldest species of the genus and the New World cluster, respectively. The phylogenetic status of M. angustimanus from the upper Gulf of California suggests its hybrid origin between M. gayi and M. productus from about 0.25 MYA, although an ever since confnement of a subset of those species cannot be ruled out. The molecular phylodiagnostic test suggests a common origin of all rare morphotypes and the absence of cryptic hake species in the Southern Cone. The molecular background of the morphotypes distributed between the Western Pacifc South of New Zealand and the western Atlantic South of Argentina is compatible with their hybrid origin between M. gayi and both, M. australis or M. hubbsi, respectively. Te genus Merluccius comprises 11 valid species that occur on most temperate and tropical continental shelves except the Asian shores of the Pacifc Ocean1. Hakes show an anti-tropical distribution in the Atlantic Ocean and the Eastern Pacifc and a latitudinal bathymetric overlap between isotherms 7 °C and 23 °C2–4.
