Genetic Identification of Octopodidae Species in Southern California Seafood Markets: Species Diversity and Resource Implications
Genetic Identification of Octopodidae Species in Southern California Seafood Markets: Species Diversity and Resource Implications Chase Martin Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California San Diego Abstract Various species of Octopodidae are commonly found in seafood markets throughout Southern California. Most of the octopus available for purchase is imported, with the majority of imports coming from various Asian nations. Despite the diversity of global octopus species, products are most commonly labeled as simply “octopus,” with some distinctions being made in size, e.g., “baby” or “little octopus.” In efforts to characterize species diversity, this study genetically tested 59 octopus samples from a variety of seafood markets in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties. Universal 16S rRNA primers (ref) and CO1 primers developed by Folmer et al. (1994) were used for PCR amplification and sequencing of mtDNA. In all, 105 sequences were acquired. Seven species were identified with some confidence. Amphioctopus aegina was the most prevalent species, while two additional species were undetermined. Little available data exists pertaining to octopus fisheries of the countries of production of the samples. Most available information on octopus fisheries pertains to those of Mediterranean and North African nations, and identifies the Octopus vulgaris as the fished species. Characterizing octopus diversity in Southern California seafood markets and assessing labeling and countries of production provides the necessary first step for assessing the possible management implications of these fisheries and seafood supply chain logistics for this group of cephalopods. Introduction Octopuses are exclusively marine cephalopod mollusks that form the order Octopoda. -

Research efforts to develop linkage mapping, or marker-assisted selection have been hampered by the absence of a high-quality reference genome. To address this need, we produced a hybrid reference genome of S. pharaonis using a long-read Edited by: platform (Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION) to assemble the genome and Andrew Stanley Mount, short-read, high quality technology (Illumina HiSeq X Ten) to correct for sequencing Clemson University, United States errors. The genome was assembled into 5,642 scaffolds with a total length of 4.79 Gb Reviewed by: and a scaffold N of 1.93 Mb. Annotation of the S. pharaonis genome assembly Simo Njabulo Maduna, 50 Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy identified a total of 51,541 genes, including 12 copies of the reflectin gene, that enable Research (NIBIO), Norway cuttlefish to control their body coloration. -
Fishing Performance of an Octopus Minor Net Pot Made of Biodegradable Twines

These are often lost by heavy weather or trawling of the active fishing gears. Lost gears result in the ghost fishing because these are non-degradable in seawater and damage to spawning grounds or habitats. To address these problems, biodegradable nets composed of aliphatic polyester were developed. This study describes four types of biodegradable net pots for capturing Octopus minor in Southern Korea, which is an area associated with high rates of net pot loss. The fishing performance of the biodegradable pots was compared to that of commercial net pots. The net pot with a synthetic body and biodegradable funnel (PE/Bio) produced approximately 50% of the catch collected using a commercial net pot (PE/PA). Conversely, net pots with a biodegradable body and a synthetic funnel (Bio/PA) produced the same amount of catch as the commercial net pot. The completely biodegradable net pot (Bio/Bio) caught 60% of that using the commercial net pot. -

Their brains provide com- parative insights for understanding the molecular and functional origins of the human brain. Although brain maps that contain information on the organization of each subregion are necessary for a study on the brain, no whole brain atlas for adult cephalopods has been constructed to date. Here, we obtained sagittal and coronal sections covering the entire brain of adult Octopus minor (Sa- saki), which belongs to the genus with the most species in the class Cephalopoda and is commercially available in East Asia through- out the year. Sections were stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) to visualize the cellular nuclei and subregions. H&E images of the serial sections were obtained at 30~70-μm intervals for the sagittal plain and at 40~80-μm intervals for the coronal plain. Set- ting the midline point of the posterior end as the fiducial point, we also established the distance coordinates of each image. We found that the brain had the typical brain structure of the Octopodiformes. A number of subregions were discriminated by a Hematoxylin- positive layer, the thickness and neuronal distribution pattern of which varied markedly depending upon the region. -

This paper presents the first record of “O.” rubescens from the tropical Mexican Pacific. Twelve octopuses were studied; 10 were collected in tide pools from five localities and two mature males were caught by fishermen in Oaxaca. We used mor- phometric characters and anatomical features of the digestive tract to identify the species. The five localities along the Mexican Pacific coast provide solid evidence that populations of this species have become established in tropical waters. -
A Mitogenomic Phylogeny and Genetic History of Amphioctopus Fangsiao (D’Orbigny 1839-1841) from China
Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences 6(2) 1-16 2020 A mitogenomic phylogeny and genetic history of Amphioctopus fangsiao (d’Orbigny 1839-1841) from China Lashari P.1,3; Wei Ch.; Gong L.1; Liu L.1; Jiang L.1; Liu B.1; Muhammad F.2; Laghari M.Y.3; Lashari Kh.H.3; Waryani B.3; Hlaing N.N.S.4; Yingying Ye1; Lü Z.1* Received: March 2019 Accepted: November 2019 Abstract Phylogeny and genetic diversity of Amphioctopus fangsiao were assessed by sequence analysis of complete mitochondrial genomes, sequenced from 15 individuals of nine populations. The whole mtDNA genomes size were ranging from 15977 to 15990 bp. Data revealed 1642 polymorphic sites and 1023 parsimony informative sites. The phylogenetic analysis based on neighbor joining tree disclosed two clades. It consisted of four (Dalian, Yantai, Qingdao and Nantong) and five populations (Shanghai, Zhoushan, Xiamen, Dongshan and Zhanjiang). Genetic differentiation coefficient (FST) was recorded higher i.e 0.61476. While, the AMOVA analysis showed that 61.48% of the genetic variation existed between the two clades. However, only 38.52% of the genetic variation existed within each clade. In further, the net genetic distance between the two groups was 0.030. The possible reason of differentiation is quaternary glacial period and Yangtze River.

While the phosphate functional group is very common in small molecule natural products, nucleic acids, and as chemical modification in protein and peptides, phosphorous can form P–N (phosphoramidate), P–S (phosphorothioate), and P–C (e.g., phosphonate and phosphinate) linkages. While rare, these moieties play critical roles in many processes and in all forms of life. In this review we thoroughly categorize P–N, P–S, and P–C natural organophosphorus compounds. Information on biological source, biological activity, and biosynthesis is included, if known. This review also summarizes the role of phosphorylation on unusual amino acids in proteins (N- and S-phosphorylation) and reviews the natural phosphorothioate (P–S) and phosphoramidate (P–N) modifications of DNA and nucleotides with an emphasis on their role in the metabolism of the cell. We challenge the commonly held notion that nonphosphate organophosphorus functional groups are an oddity of biochemistry, with no central role in the metabolism of the cell.
