CHAPTER-IV Results and Discussion 4.1 Standardization of genomic DNA extraction from fish tissue The fishes under study viz., Badis badis and Amblyceps mangois have been classified as threatened in category as reported by NBFGR. Therefore it would be unethical to standardize the genomic DNA (gDNA) isolation and RAPD PCR experiments with these fish samples. For this reason closely related fish samples (Labeo bata related to Badis badis and Heteropneustes fossilis related to Amblyceps mangois) were chosen for the standardization of sufficient amount of genomic DNA extractraction from minute quantity of tissue samples from these fishes. The DNA isolation method employed in this study showed that sufficient amounts of high molecular weight gDNAs could be purified from fish scales/fins (Figure 12). While the integrity of the isolated gDNAs appeared satisfactory ample amount of RNAs were present in the isolated gDNA samples (Figure 12 A–C). The figure showed that the yields of high molecular weight gDNAs from live scale and fin samples were substantially higher than that from frozen samples. However the gDNAs isolated from different quantities of fin clips of both live and frozen Heteropneustes (scaleless species) were more degraded than that from scales or fins of Labeo (Figure 12 C).

Quantification of gDNA yields was done after treating each isolate with RNase A. The total yield of gDNAs from 5 and 50 pieces of scales were 8.40 and 80.0 µg respectively Page | 131 and from 1 and 30 mg fin were 4.65 and 123.50 µg respectively in live L. bata. In live H. fossilis the total yield were 14.60 and 132.60 µg from 1 and 30 mg fin respectively. However, the yield of gDNAs from frozen samples of both L. bata and H. fossilis were relatively low in comparison to that from the live ones (Table 10). Table 10.

In live L. bata scale and fin, OPA02 primer produced nine bands and OPA 07 produced seven bands respectively [Figure. 13 A (lanes 2, 3, 6, 7), 2B (lanes 2, 3, 6, 7)]. But in frozen L. bata scale and fin the result was different, the bands appeared faint, OPA02 primer produced three bands and OPA07 primer produced four bands [Figure 13 A (lanes 4, 5, 8, 9), b (lanes 4, 5, 8, 9)]. In live H. fossilis fin OPA 02 gives eight bands and OPA07 gives four bands (Figure 13 C lanes 2, 3, 6, 7) whereas in frozen sample the numbers of bands were relatively less, both OPA 02 produced six bands and OPA07 produced three bands (Figure 13 C lanes 4, 5, 8, 9).

Out of fifteen loci, four loci (EST-1*, GPI-2*, G3PDH-2*, PGM*) were polymorphic in F1 crossbreed progeny and in maternal parent, and only two loci (EST-1*, G3PDH-2*) in paternal parent. A rare allele *c at locus EST-1*, the highest mean number of polymorphic loci (26.6), mean number of alleles per locus (1.33) and observed heterozygosity (0.066) were observed in F1 generation. The higher fixation index (FIS) value indicated heterozygote deficiency in parental stocks, and the negative FIS value at locus GPI-2* and PGM* indicated excess of heterozygote in F1 crossbreed progeny. The overall genetic differentiation (FST), gene flow (Nm), maximum genetic distance (D) were 0.0690, 3.3755 and 0.0183 respectively, showed very low genetic differentiation among them.

A total fourteen populations from the Terai and Dooars region of northern West Bengal, India were analyzed to study the genetic architecture of this species with the help of RAPD and ISSR markers. The observed number of alleles (S), Nei’s gene diversity (H) and Shannon’s information index (H´ or I) showed the highest values in the Teesta river system and the lowest values in the Mahananda river system. The UPGMA-based dendrogram and PCoA, based on RAPD and ISSR fingerprints, showed that the Mahananda and the Teesta river populations formed a group distinct from the remaining Jaldhaka river population. We further considered the fourteen riverine populations into nine groups according to the continuity of the water flow forSHE analysis.

    Study of Genetic Diversity in the Threatened Ornamental Fishes, Badis badis (Hamilton- Buchanan, 1822) and Amblyceps mangois (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) from Terai and the Dooars region of North Bengal, India A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL FOR THE AWARD OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) IN ZOOLOGY BY TANMAY MUKHOPADHYAY SUPERVISOR PROF. SOUMEN BHATTACHARJEE DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL November, 2018 DEDICATED TO MY PARENTS -: PREFACE :- The research work has been started in 2013 and documented in the dissertation entitled “Study of Genetic Diversity in the Threatened Ornamental Fishes, Badis badis (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) and Amblyceps mangois (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) from Terai and the Dooars region of North Bengal, India.” under the supervision of Prof. (Dr.) Soumen Bhattacharjee, Cell and Molecular Biology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal. The studied region is located in the sub-Himalayan Terai and Dooars region of North Bengal, India. The important feature of this region is rich diversity in the faunal and floran resource. The snow capped mountain peaks, the dense foothill, the luxuriant forests, the frothing rivers, the lush paddy fields, vibrant green tea gardens makes this region of North Bengal a hotbed of bio-diversity or biodiversity hotspot. This region is intersected by numerous streams, rivers and rivulets. All their sources are the Darjeeling Himalaya in the north and are mainly snow fed and rain fed. Most of the rivers drain considerable amount of water during rainy season due to their large catchment area in the hills. Over last few years, wild populations two ornamental fishes viz., Badis badis and Amblyceps mangois have declined steadily mainly due of habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, and destructive fishing procedures; the information is confirmed by the NBFGR (National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources), India country’s apex body for the purpose.
