Molecular Identification of Intergenus Crosses Involving Catfish Hybrids: Risks for Aquaculture Production
Neotropical Ichthyology, 14(2): e150139, 2016 Journal homepage: www.scielo.br/ni DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20150139 Published online: 27 June 2016 (ISSN 1982-0224) Molecular identification of intergenus crosses involving catfish hybrids: risks for aquaculture production Diogo T. Hashimoto1, Fernanda D. Prado2, Fausto Foresti3 and Fábio Porto-Foresti2 Monitoring of the interspecific hybrid production and trade is essential for the appropriate management of these animals in fish farms. The identification of catfish hybrids by morphological analysis is unreliable, particularly of juveniles and post-F1 individuals. Therefore, in the present study, we used five molecular markers (four nuclear genes and one mitochondrial gene) to detect hybrids in the trade of pimelodid juvenile fish from different stocks purchased of five seed producers in Brazil. Samples commercialized as pintado (pure species Pseudoplatystoma corruscans) from three fish farms were genetically identified as hybrid cachapinta (♀P. reticulatum x ♂ P. corruscans). In the stocks purchased as cachandiá (hybrid between ♀ P. reticulatum x ♂ Leiarius marmoratus) and cachapira (hybrid between ♀ P. reticulatum x ♂ Phractocephalus hemioliopterus), we suggested the occurrence of intergenus crosses involving the hybrid cachapinta, which was used instead of the pure species P. reticulatum. The problems involving the hybrid cachapinta production were discussed in the present study, especially because these animals have caused genetic contamination and threatened the genetic integrity of natural and cultivated populations. In order to improve the surveillance of the production and provide criteria for the correct management of catfish hybrids, genetic markers has become an excellent alternative to the morphological identification, including juveniles or post-F1 generations. O monitoramento da produção e comércio de híbridos interespecíficos é essencial para o manejo adequado desses animais em pisciculturas.

The analysis of its gut content revealed the presence of 62 genera of planktonic life forms along with other animal matters. The organization of the alimentary tract and maximum Relative Mean Length of Gut (0.511±0.029 mm) indicated its carnivorous food habit. The peak gastro-somatic index (GSI) in winter-spring seasons and summer-rainy seasons indicated alteration of its feeding intensity. Furthermore, higher diet breadth on resource use (Levins’ and Hurlbert’s) with zooplankton compared to phytoplankton and Keywords: total plankton confirmed its zooplanktivore habit. The feeding strategy Diet breadth plots also suggested greater preference to zooplankton compared to Feeding strategy phytoplankton. The organization of its gill rakers specified a secondary Pachypterus atherinoides modification of gut towards either carnivory or specialized zooplanktivory.

During the reporting period, a total of 75 species belonging to 49 genera and 23 families were recorded. Cyprinidae was found to be dominant families with 27 species and followed by Bagridae (7 species); Cobitidae (6 species); Channidae (4 species); Siliridae, Schilbeidae and Osphronemidae with 3 species each. In terms of composition of genus, Cyprinidae have 15 genus followed by Cobitidae and Bagridae with 4 each while Schilbeidae with 3. As far as the species composition is concerned, the Cyprinidae was 30.0% followed by Bagridae (9.33%), Cobitidae (8.0%), Channidae (5.33%), Siluridae, Schilbeidae and Osphronemidae (4.0%) whereas rest of the families accounting with 2.66% and 1.33% each. According to IUCN-2015, a total of 55 species were found under least concerned (LC), 7 species were near threatened (NT), 2 species were vulnerable (VU), 4 species were data deficient (DD), 1 species as endangered (EN) and 6 species under not evaluated (NE). It is clear that Dulakhojia beel exhibit a good number of fish species.

It is a contracted form of biological diversity encompassing the variety of all forms on the earth. It is identified as the variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes of which they are part including diversity between species and ecosystems.
