The complete mitochondrial genomes of three imperiled cyprinid fishes Bonytail (Gila elegans), Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus amarus) and Loach Minnow (Tiaroga cobitis).

ABSTRACT: Gila elegans, Hybognathus amarus, and Tiaroga cobitis (Family Cyprinidae, Order Cypriniformes) are endemic and endangered fishes in the southwestern United States. We present complete mitochondrial genomes for each species. Each mitochondrion consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a single control region (D-loop), and gene order was consistent with other cyprinid fishes. Total genome lengths were 16,593 base pairs (bp) for G. elegans, 16,705 bp for H. amarus, and 16,802 for T. cobitis. The GC content in G. elegans and H. amarus was 44%, but higher in T. cobitis at 48%. Phylogenetic trees were generated to confirm relationships inferred via novel mitogenomes, and best-supported trees were consistent with previous research.

Genetic analysis of captive spawning strategies for the endangered Rio Grande Silvery Minnow.

Project description:Captive breeding and rearing are central elements in conservation, management, and recovery planning for many endangered species including Rio Grande Silvery Minnow, a North American freshwater cyprinid. Traditionally, the sole purpose of hatcheries was to produce as many fish as feasible for stocking and harvest. Production quotas are also an important consideration in hatchery programs for endangered species, but they must also maintain and maximize genetic diversity of fish produced through implementation of best breeding practices. Here, we assessed genetic outcomes and measures of productivity (number of eggs and larval viability) for three replicates of three mating designs that are used for this small, pelagic-spawning fish. These were 1) monogamous mating, 2) hormone-induced communal spawning, and 3) environmentally cued communal spawning. A total of 180 broodstock and 450 progeny were genotyped. Genetic diversity and egg productivity did not differ significantly among spawning designs (H e : F = 0.52, P = 0.67; H o : F = 0.12, P = 0.89; number of eggs: F = 3.59, P = 0.09), and there was evidence for variance in reproductive success among individuals in all three designs. Allelic richness declined from the broodstock to progeny generation in all breeding designs. There was no significant difference in the genetic effective size (regardless of the method used) among designs. Significantly more viable eggs were produced in environmentally cued communal spawn compared to the alternative strategies (F = 5.72, P = 0.04), but this strategy is the most difficult to implement.

Chromosome-level reference genomes of two imperiled desert fishes: spikedace (Meda fulgida) and loach minnow (Tiaroga cobitis).

Project description:North American minnows (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae) comprise a diverse taxonomic group, but many members, particularly those inhabiting deserts, face elevated extinction risks. Despite conservation concerns, leuciscids remain under sampled for reference assemblies relative to other groups of freshwater fishes. Here, we present 2 chromosome-scale reference genome assemblies spikedace (Meda fulgida) and loach minnow (Tiaroga cobitis) using PacBio, Illumina and Omni-C technologies. The complete assembly for spikedace was 882.1 Mb in total length comprised of 83 scaffolds with N50 = 34.8 Mb, L50 = 11, N75 = 32.3 Mb, and L75 = 18. The complete assembly for loach minnow was 1.3 Gb in total length comprised of 550 scaffolds with N50 = 48.6 Mb, L50 = 13, N75 = 42.3 Mb, and L75 = 20. Completeness assessed via Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologues (BUSCO) metrics using the Actinopterygii BUSCO database showed ∼97% for spikedace and ∼98% for loach minnow of complete BUSCO proportions. Annotation revealed approximately 32.58 and 29.04% of spikedace and loach minnow total genome lengths to be comprised of protein-coding genes, respectively. Comparative genomic analyses of these endangered and co-distributed fishes revealed widespread structural variants, gene family expansions, and evidence of positive selection in both genomes.

Genetic monitoring and complex population dynamics: insights from a 12-year study of the Rio Grande silvery minnow.

Project description:The endangered Rio Grande silvery minnow persists as a remnant population in a highly fragmented and regulated arid-land river system. The species is subject to dramatic annual fluctuations in density. Since 2003, the wild population has been supplemented by hatchery-reared fish. We report on a 12-year (1999-2010) monitoring study of genetic diversity and effective population size (N(e)) of wild and hatchery stocks. Our goals were to evaluate how genetic metrics responded to changes in wild fish density and whether they corresponded to the number and levels of diversity of hatchery-reared repatriates. Genetic diversity and all measures of N(e) in the wild population did not correlate with wild fish density until hatchery supplementation began in earnest. Estimates of variance and inbreeding effective size were not correlated. Our results suggest source-sink dynamics where captive stocks form a genetically diverse source and the wild population behaves as a sink. Nevertheless, overall genetic diversity of silvery minnow has been maintained over the last decade, and we attribute this to a well-designed and executed propagation management plan. When multiple factors like environmental fluctuation and hatchery supplementation act simultaneously on a population, interpretation of genetic monitoring data may be equally complex and require considerable ecological data.

Quantitative PCR Assays for Detecting Loach Minnow (Rhinichthys cobitis) and Spikedace (Meda fulgida) in the Southwestern United States.

Project description:Loach minnow (Rhinichthys cobitis) and spikedace (Meda fulgida) are legally protected with the status of Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and are endemic to the Gila River basin of Arizona and New Mexico. Efficient and sensitive methods for monitoring these species' distributions are critical for prioritizing conservation efforts. We developed quantitative PCR assays for detecting loach minnow and spikedace DNA in environmental samples. Each assay reliably detected low concentrations of target DNA without detection of non-target species, including other cyprinid fishes with which they co-occur.

Cobitis takenoi sp. n. (Cypriniformes, Cobitidae): a new spined loach from Honshu Island, Japan.

Project description:A new species of spined loach, Cobitis takenoi sp. n., is described based on the holotype and ten paratypes collected from Tango District, Honshu Island, Japan. The new species is distinguished by a combination of the following character states: 1) the lamina circularis at the base of the pectoral fin in adult male having a simple roundish plate form; 2) a narrowing of the upper segments of the first branched ray of the pectoral fin; 3) a short maxillary barbel whose length equals diameter of the eye; 4) 14 prepelvic myotomes, and 5) L3 and L5 well developed, forming longitudinal obvious stripes in males during the spawning season.

A socio-environmental geodatabase for integrative research in the transboundary Rio Grande/Rio Bravo basin.

Project description:Integrative research on water resources requires a wide range of socio-environmental datasets to better understand human-water interactions and inform decision-making. However, in transboundary watersheds, integrating cross-disciplinary and multinational datasets is a daunting task due to the disparity of data sources and the inconsistencies in data format, content, resolution, and language. This paper introduces a socio-environmental geodatabase that transcends political and disciplinary boundaries in the Rio Grande/Río Bravo basin (RGB). The geodatabase aggregates 145 GIS data layers on five main themes: (i) Water & Land Governance, (ii) Hydrology, (iii) Water Use & Hydraulic Infrastructures, (iv) Socio-Economics, and (v) Biophysical Environment. Datasets were primarily collected from public open-access data sources, processed with ArcGIS, and documented through the FGCD metadata standard. By synthesizing a broad array of datasets and mapping public and private water governance, we expect to advance interdisciplinary research in the RGB, provide a replicable approach to dataset compilation for transboundary watersheds, and ultimately foster transboundary collaboration for sustainable resource management.
