(Accepted November 25, 2005) Chia-Hao Chang, Yi-Ta Shao, and Hsiao-Wei Kao (2006) Molecular identification of two sibling species of Puntius in Taiwan. Zoological Studies 45(2): 149-156. Puntius fish from Taiwan and South China were collect- ed and analyzed. Specimens from the northern and central Taiwan were characterized by the absence of bar- bels. On the contrary, specimens from the southern Taiwan and South China were characterized by the pres- ence of barbels. These characteristics morphologically match P. snyderi and P. semifasciolatus respectively (Oshima 1919). We hypothesized that there were two species of Puntius in Taiwan. To test this hypothesis, we amplified and sequenced the cytochrome b gene from fish specimens of China and Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the existence of two major clades of Puntius fishes with an average genetic distance of 0.12 between them. The fish specimens from southern Taiwan were clustered with P. semifasciolatus of China, but fish specimens from northern and central Taiwan were clustered together. The estimated evolutionary rate of cytochrome b gene for Puntius was 0.368% per million yrs (MY). Thus the divergence time between P. snyderi , and P. semifasciolatus was about 26.93 million years ago (MYA) and the divergent time between Taiwan s and , China s P. semifasciolatus was about 4.40 MYA. Taken together, our results supported the existence of two species of Puntius fishes in Taiwan. P. snyderi is distributed in northern and central Taiwan, while P. semifasci- olatus is in southern Taiwan. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/45.2/149.pdf Key words: Cytochrome b gene, Freshwater fish, Molecular clock, Phylogenetic tree.

Capoeta erhani Turan, Kottelat et Ekmekçi, 2008 has an economic importance in commercial and recreational fisheries in Turkey. Knowledge of the biology of this species is very scarce. Despite the importance of this species, no research on the population dynamics such as age and growth rates has been conducted. The aim of this study was to determine the age, growth rate, and the relations between the fish size and the otolith size for C. erhani from the Menzelet Reservoir, Turkey . Materials and methods. This study was carried out seasonally in the Menzelet Reservoir, between January and December 2012. Samples were collected using gill nets with mesh sizes ranging from 18 to 30 mm . Results. A total of 134 otoliths obtained from Capoeta erhani that ranged from 15 to 33.8 cm TL were used in the analyses.

Using the BEAST program, we also examined temporal divergence patterns of Capoeta. The monophyly of the genus and the existence of three previously described main clades (Mesopotamian, Anatolian- Iranian, and Aralo- Caspian) were confirmed. However, the phylogeny proposed novel taxonomic findings within Capoeta. Results of GMYC, bPTP, and phylogenetic analyses were similar and suggested that species diversity in Iran is currently underestimated. At least four can- didate species, Capoeta sp4, Capoeta sp5, Capoeta sp6, and Capoeta sp7, are awaiting description. Capoeta capoeta comprises a species complex with distinct genetic line- ages. The divergence times of the three main Capoeta clades are estimated to have occurred around 15.6–12.4 Mya, consistent with a Mio- Pleistocene origin of the di- versity of Capoeta in Iran. The changes in Caspian Sea levels associated with climate fluctuations and geomorphological events such as the uplift of the Zagros and Alborz Mountains may account for the complex speciation patterns in Capoeta in Iran.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Capoeta in Iran is highly diversified with 14 species and is one of the most important freshwater fauna components of the country. Central Iran is a region with high number of endemism in other freshwater fish species, though the present species was recognized as C. aculeata (Valenciennes, 1844), widely distributed within Kavir and Namak basins. However previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies found that populations of Nam River, a tributary of the Hableh River in central Iran are different from the other species. In this study, the mentioned population is described as a new species based on morphologic and genetic characters. Keywords: Inland freshwater of Iran, Nam River, Algae-scraping cyprinid, Capoeta.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49; G6PD) is an important enzyme found in all mammal tissues, and produces NADPH in the metabolism. NADPH provides a reductive potential to maintain a balanced redox state within the cell. The aim of this study was to purify G6PD from Capoeta umbla kidney and determination of inhibition or activation effects of aluminium and mercury on enzyme activity. In this purpose, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was purified from Capoeta umbla kidney by using preparation of homogenate, ammonium sulphate precipitation and 2’,5’-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined on sodium dodecyl sulphate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the purified enzyme showed a single band on the 3+ 2+ gel with a molecular weight of 75 kDa. Moreover, Ki constants of Al and Hg were found as 0.98 ± 0.084 and 0.57 ± 0.019 mM, respectively.

  • Discrimination of Capoeta Trutta (Heckel, 1843) and Capoeta Umbla (Heckel, 1843) from Scales by Geometric Morphometric Methods
    Journal of Survey in Fisheries Sciences 4(1) 8-17 2017 Discrimination of Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) and Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843) from scales by Geometric Morphometric Methods Çiçek T. 1; Kaya A.2; Bilici S.3*; Dörtbudak M.Y.4 Received: October 2016 Accepted: April 2017 Abstract In this study, a totally 103 (53♀♀, 50♂♂) C. trutta and 82 (67♀♀, 15♂♂) C. umbla samples from the Tigris River between Ilısı Dam and Cizre town were collected and ages of scales taken from front and upper section of line lateral of dorsal fins of fishes were determined and one scale from each fish sample photographed by an Olympus digital camera with Canon SX7 model binocular under the same conditions with 40X magnification and then six landmarks were taken by tpsDig. After GPA (General Procrustes Analysis) performed, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance), PCA (Principal Component Analysis), CVA (Canonical Variance Anlysis) and DFA (Discriminant Function Analysis) analysis were conducted by MorphoJ and PAST. In CV (Canonical Variance) Analysis, the permutation p-value of the mahalanobis and procrustes distance between the two species (p<.0001) shows that the difference is quite significant. As a result of the reclassification done by the analysis, we see that 79% of C. umbla and 77% of C. trutta are classified correctly.
