In order to provide genetic information for the selective breeding of Siniperca chuatsi, 14 microsatellite DNA loci were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and structure of four farmed populations and one wild population in China. The four cultivated populations were Foshan (FS), Jiangmen (JM), Nanjing (NJ), and Hongze Lake (HZL), and the wild population was collected from the Hubei HuangGang section of the Yangtze River (HG). All five populations exhibited high genetic diversity (HE values of between 0.608 and 0.633); the highest was found in the wild population (HE = 0.633). Genetic differentiation within the populations was relatively low (FST < 0.15); 5.44% of the genetic variation was between the populations and 94.56% was within the populations. The greatest genetic distance was between JM and HG (0.1894), which had the lowest genetic identity (0.8725). NJ and HG had the shortest genetic distance (0.0365) and the highest genetic identity (0.9641). A phylogenetic analysis revealed that FS, JM, and Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (3): 9343-9352 (2015) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br C.F.

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fishes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fishes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fishes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.

Immunoglobulin T genes in Neopterygii Serafin Mirete-Bachiller1, David N.

As Lagoas s/n, Ourense, 32004 Spain [email protected] Abstract In teleost fishes there are three immunoglobulin isotypes named immunoglobulin M (IgM), D (IgD) and T (IgT). IgT has been the last to be described and is considered a teleosts-fish spe- cific isotype. From the recent availability of genome sequences of fishes, an in-depth analysis of Actinopterygii immunoglobulin heavy chain genes was undertaken. With the aid of a bioinformat- ics pipeline, a machine learning software, CHfinder, was developed that identifies the coding exons of the CH domains of fish immunoglobulins. Using this pipeline, a high number of such sequences were obtained from teleosts and holostean fishes. IgT was found in teleost and holostean fishes that had not been previously described. A phylogenetic analysis reveals that IgT CH1 exons are similar to the IgM CH1. This analysis also demonstrates that the other three domains (CH2, CH3 and CH4) were not generated by recent duplication processes of IgM in Actinopterygii, indicating it is an immunoglobulin with an earlier origin. Keywords: IgT, Neopterygii, Holostei 1. Introduction Some 550 million years ago the adaptive immune system arose coinciding with the appearance of the non-jawed vertebrates (Agnathans) (Cooper & Alder, 2006).

  • (Sinipercidae) Genomes Provide Insights Into Innate Predatory Feeding
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-1094-y OPEN Mandarin fish (Sinipercidae) genomes provide insights into innate predatory feeding Shan He1,2,6, Ling Li1,2,3,6, Li-Yuan Lv1,2,6, Wen-Jing Cai1,2, Ya-Qi Dou1,2, Jiao Li1,2, Shu-Lin Tang1,2, Xu Chen1,2, ✉ Zhen Zhang1,2, Jing Xu1,2, Yan-Peng Zhang1,2, Zhan Yin4, Sven Wuertz3, Ya-Xiong Tao5, Heiner Kuhl3 & ✉ Xu-Fang Liang1,2 1234567890():,; Mandarin fishes (Sinipercidae) are piscivores that feed solely on live fry. Unlike higher ver- tebrates, teleosts exhibit feeding behavior driven mainly by genetic responses, with no modification by learning from parents. Mandarin fishes could serve as excellent model organisms for studying feeding behavior. We report a long-read, chromosomal-scale genome assembly for Siniperca chuatsi and genome assemblies for Siniperca kneri, Siniperca scherzeri and Coreoperca whiteheadi. Positive selection analysis revealed rapid adaptive evolution of genes related to predatory feeding/aggression, growth, pyloric caeca and euryhalinity. Very few gill rakers are observed in mandarin fishes; analogously, we found that zebrafish deficient in edar had a gill raker loss phenotype and a more predatory habit, with reduced intake of zooplankton but increased intake of prey fish. Higher expression of bmp4, which could inhibit edar expression and gill raker development through binding of a Xvent-1 site upstream of edar, may cause predatory feeding in Siniperca. 1 College of Fisheries, Chinese Perch Research Center, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China. 2 Innovation Base for Chinese Perch Breeding, Key Laboratory of Freshwater Animal Breeding, Ministry of Agriculture, Wuhan, China.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3'). The region between 7 300 bp and 12 300 bp was amplified using primers ZM7300F (5'-GCA CAT CCC TCC CAA CTA GGW TTT CAA GAT GC-3') and ZM12300R (5'-TTG CAC CAA GAG TTT TTG GTT CCT AAG ACC-3').

Email: [email protected] urn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:55EA63EE-63FD-49E6-A216-A6D2BEB91B82 Abstract. The family-group names of animals (superfamily, family, subfamily, supertribe, tribe and subtribe) are regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Particularly, the family names are very important, because they are among the most widely used of all technical animal names. A uniform name and spelling are essential for the location of information. To facilitate this, a list of family- group names for fossil fi shes has been compiled. I use the concept ‘Fishes’ in the usual sense, i.e., starting with the Agnatha up to the †Osteolepidiformes. All the family-group names proposed for fossil fi shes found to date are listed, together with their author(s) and year of publication. The main goal of the list is to contribute to the usage of the correct family-group names for fossil fi shes with a uniform spelling and to list the author(s) and date of those names. No valid family-group name description could be located for the following family-group names currently in usage: †Brindabellaspidae, †Diabolepididae, †Dorsetichthyidae, †Erichalcidae, †Holodipteridae, †Kentuckiidae, †Lepidaspididae, †Loganelliidae and †Pituriaspididae.
