It is presently threatened by human activities Sarcocheilichthys sinensis and environmental factors in China. Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure is funda- Genetic diversity mental for implementation of appropriate conservation measures and a sustainable management program. Population structure However, little is reported about the current genetic diversity and population structure. Here, we used ten Microsatellites microsatellite markers to genotype 175 individuals from six populations. Low levels of genetic diversity were found in all six tested populations. The Xiang river population showed the highest level of genetic diversity. Genetic differentiation was very low but significant among the Changyang, Changqidang and Mayang popula- tions, but the Qiandao lake, Gan river, Xiang river populations all showed significant and strong differentiation from the other three populations. Contemporary gene flow was observed in among Changyang, Changqidang and Mayang populations and between Gan and Xiang river populations, respectively. This is the first genetic study to report the genetic diversity and population structure of S. sinensis and the results will be used to develop management and conservation strategies. 1.

Aquaculture and Fisheries 5 (2020) 80–85 largely unexplored. Neutral molecular markers frequently used in conservation genetic studies have been developed for S. sinensis, such as the mitochondrial genome (Li et al., 2016) and microsatellites (Shen et al., 2017; Zhu et al., 2017b). Although genotyping by sequencing (GBS) has become the most popular tool for population genetics ana- lysis, microsatellites are still useful (Li et al., 2018; Shen & Yue, 2018). The aim of this study was to use ten microsatellite markers to survey the genetic diversity and population structure of six wild populations of Chinese lake gudgeon. The first goal was to analyze the pattern of ge- netic diversity to discuss the conservation status. Genetic diversity has a key role in evolution by allowing a species to adapt to a new environ- ment and to fight off parasites. Second, we aimed to decipher popula- tion differentiation, which is a direct effect of random genetic drift, mutation and natural selection. This is important information for de- signing conservation and management strategies. This is the first in- vestigation of the genetic structure of S.sinensis, populations and this Fig. 1.

Bock, Morgan M. Malley, and Sean C. Lema Department of Biological Sciences, Center for Coastal Marine Sciences, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Abstract Keywords The speckled dace Rhinichthys osculus (order Cypriniformes), also known as the carpita pinta, is Cyprinidae, Cypriniformes, Leuciscinae, a small cyprinid minnow native to western North America. Here, we report the sequencing of mitogenome, mtDNA the full mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of R. osculus from a male fish collected from the Amargosa River Canyon in eastern California, USA. The assembled mitogenome is 16 658 base pair (bp) nucleotides, and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, and includes both a 12S and a 16S rRNA, 22 tRNAs, and a 985 bp D-loop control region. Mitogenome synteny reflects that of other Ostariophysian fishes with the majority of genes and RNAs encoded on the heavy strand (H-strand) except nd6, tRNA-Gln, tRNA-Ala, tRNA-Asn, tRNA-Cys, tRNA-Tyr, tRNA-Ser, tRNA-Glu, and tRNA - Pro. The availability of this R. osculus mitochondrial genome – the first complete mitogenome within the lineage of Rhinichthys riffle daces – provides a foundation for resolving evolutionary relationships among morphologically differentiated populations of R. osculus.

  • A Novel Resource Polymorphism in Fish, Driven by Differential Bottom Environments: an Example from an Ancient Lake in Japan
    A Novel Resource Polymorphism in Fish, Driven by Differential Bottom Environments: An Example from an Ancient Lake in Japan Takefumi Komiya*, Sari Fujita, Katsutoshi Watanabe Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan Abstract Divergent natural selection rooted in differential resource use can generate and maintain intraspecific eco-morphological divergence (i.e., resource polymorphism), ultimately leading to population splitting and speciation. Differing bottom environments create lake habitats with different benthos communities, which may cause selection in benthivorous fishes. Here, we document the nature of eco-morphological and genetic divergence among local populations of the Japanese gudgeon Sarcocheilichthys (Cyprinidae), which inhabits contrasting habitats in the littoral zones (rocky vs. pebbly habitats) in Lake Biwa, a representative ancient lake in East Asia. Eco-morphological analyses revealed that Sarcocheilichthys variegatus microoculus from rocky and pebbly zones differed in morphology and diet, and that populations from rocky environments had longer heads and deeper bodies, which are expected to be advantageous for capturing cryptic and/or attached prey in structurally complex, rocky habitats. Sarcocheilichthys biwaensis, a rock-dwelling specialist, exhibited similar morphologies to the sympatric congener, S. v. microoculus, except for body/fin coloration. Genetic analyses based on mitochondrial and nuclear microsatellite DNA data revealed no clear genetic differentiation among local populations within/between the gudgeon species. Although the morphogenetic factors that contribute to morphological divergence remain unclear, our results suggest that the gudgeon populations in Lake Biwa show a state of resource polymorphism associated with differences in the bottom environment. This is a novel example of resource polymorphism in fish within an Asian ancient lake, emphasizing the importance and generality of feeding adaptation as an evolutionary mechanism that generates morphological diversification.
