Complete mitochondrial genomes for Cottus asper, Cottus perifretum, and Cottus rhenanus (Perciformes, Cottidae).

ABSTRACT: Freshwater sculpins represent a diverse but poorly-understood constituent of the Holarctic ichthyofauna. Sculpins are considered sensitive to pollution and habitat change, serving as aquatic bioindicators in ecotoxicology. Many species are protected by conservation agencies, due to anthropogenic activity within restricted geographic distributions. Here, we provide the first complete mitochondrial DNA sequences for three freshwater sculpins (Cottus asper, C. perifretum, C. rhenanus). These data are used to infer an updated mtDNA phylogeny for the genus Cottus, which supports results of previous research. These data are likely to be useful for future studies in biogeography, conservation, and functional genomics.

The characteristics and phylogenetic relationship of two complete mitochondrial genomes of Cottus pollux (scorpaeniformes: cottidae).

Project description:We report two complete mitochondrial genomes of Cottus pollux based on specimens collected from Deokdong and Hoam Streams in the Republic of Korea. The two complete mitochondrial genomes were 16,558 and 16,557 bp long. Both contain the 37 standard genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region) in the same order and have similar nucleotide compositions. According to the phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum-likelihood method, C. pollux is closely related to C. reinii. The genetic information provided by the complete mitochondrial genome of C. pollux will contribute to an understanding of the phylogenetic position, evolutionary relationships, and biogeographical patterns of this species within the genus Cottus.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Volk's sculpin Cottus volki (Cottoidei: Cottidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of the Volk's sculpin Cottus volki. The genome sequences are 16,519 and 16,536?bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other sculpin mitochondrial genomes published previously. The difference between the two genomes studied is relatively high, 3.42%, which is 30% of the average interspecific divergence (8.76%) detected between seven Cottus species from the GenBank database. The data are consistent with the sedentary lifestyle in C. volki, limiting gene flow even between neighbouring rivers.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur sculpin Cottus szanaga (Cottoidei: Cottidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of the Amur sculpin Cottus szanaga. The genome sequences are 16,518 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other sculpin genomes published previously. The low level of sequence divergence detected between the genome of C. szanaga and the GenBank complete mitochondrial genome of the Cherskii's sculpin Cottus czerskii (KJ956027) may likely be due to recent divergence, historical hybridization, or presence of a new unrecognized taxonomic unit close to C. szanaga but erroneously identified as C. czerskii.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Sakhalin sculpin Cottus amblystomopsis (Cottoidei: Cottidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of the Sakhalin sculpin Cottus amblystomopsis. The genome sequences are 16,526 and 16,527 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other sculpin mitochondrial genomes published previously. The difference between the two genomes studied is low, 0.28%, in spite of the relatively long distance separating the localities. The data are consistent with the amphidromous life history of C. amblystomopsis, promoting gene flow even between distantly located rivers.

Comparative Analysis of Four Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Epinephelidae (Perciformes).

Project description:Groupers are commercial, mainly reef-associated fishes, classified in the family Epinephelidae (Perciformes). This study first sequenced the complete mitogenomes of Cephalopholis leopardus, Cephalopholis spiloparaea, Epinephelus amblycephalus, and Epinephelus hexagonatus. The lengths of the four Epinephelidae mitogenomes ranged from 16,585 base pair (bp) to 16,872 bp with the typical gene order. All tRNA genes had a typical cloverleaf structure, except the tRNA-Ser (AGY) gene which was lacking the entire dihydrouridine arm. The ratio of nonsynonymous substitution (Ka) and synonymous substitution (Ks) indicated that four groupers were suffering a purifying selection. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed by Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods based on all mitogenomic data of 41 groupers and 2 outgroups. The identical topologies result with high support values showed that Cephalopholis and Epinephelus are not monophyletic genera. Anyperodon and Cromileptes clustered to Epinephelus. Aethaloperca rogaa and Cephalopholis argus assembled a clad. Cephalopholis leopardus, C. spiloparaea, and Cephalopholis miniata are also in a clade. Epinephelushexagonatus is close to Epinephelus tauvina and Epinephelus merra, and E. amblycephalus is a sister group with Epinephelus stictus. More mitogenomic data from Epinephelidae species are essential to understand its taxonomic status with the family Serranidae.

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Baikal Oilfishes (Perciformes: Cottoidei), Earth's Deepest-Swimming Freshwater Fishes.

Project description:Sculpins are predominantly benthic sit-and-wait predators that inhabit marine and freshwaters of the Northern Hemisphere. In striking contrast to riverine relatives, sculpins endemic to Lake Baikal have diversified in both form and function, with multiple taxa having adaptations for pelagic and bathyal niches within the world's deepest lake. Baikal Oilfishes (Comephorus spp.) represent a highly apomorphic taxon with unique skeletal morphology, soft anatomy, and reproductive ecology. Selection for novel behavior and life history may be evident in genes responsible for organismal energy balance, including those encoding subunits of the electron transport chain. Complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced for the Big Baikal Oilfish (Comephorus baicalensis) and Little Baikal Oilfish (Comephorus dybowskii). Mitochondrial genomes encode genes essential for electron transport, and data provided here will complement ongoing investigations of genome-to-phenome maps for teleost respiration and metabolism. Phylogenetic analyses including oilfish mitogenomes and all publicly available cottoid representative sequences are largely concordant with previous studies.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Trachidermus fasciatus (Scorpaeniformes: Cottidae) and phylogenetic studies of Cottidae.

Project description:Trachidermus fasciatus is a small catadromous fish and has been listed as a second class state protected aquatic animal since 1988 in China due to the declines in its abundance. We describe the complete mitogenome of T. fasciatus in this study. The mitogenome is 16,536 nucleotides long and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two main non-coding regions. The overall base composition includes C (30%), A (26.3%), T (25.5%), and G (18.2%). Moreover, the 13 PCGs encode 3800 amino acids in total, all the PCGs use the initiation codon ATG except COI uses GTG. Most of them have TAA or TAG as the stop codon, except COII, ND4 and Cytb use an incomplete stop codon T. The phylogenetic tree based on the neighbour joining method was constructed to provide relationship within Cottidae, which could be a useful basis for management of this species.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Hemilepidotus gilberti (Scorpaeniformes: Cottidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of gilbert's irish lord (Hemilepidotus gilberti), a fish belonging to family Cottidae, was sequenced for the first time. This complete mitochondrial genome was 16,907 nucleotides in length, consisting of 38 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region). The order of these genes was similar to that of other teleosts. The overall A, C, G, and T nucleotide contents in mitogenome were 26.8%, 30.4%, 17.0%, and 25.8%, respectively. The A + T content (52.6%) was higher than the G + C content (47.4%). NJ phylogenetic analysis was performed for 10 related species within the family of Cottidae along with, two fish species belonging to another family (Sebastidae).

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Belligerent sculpin Megalocottus platycephalus (Cottoidei: Cottidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome was sequenced in two specimens of the Belligerent sculpin Megalocottus platycephalus by high-throughput sequencing technology (Ion S5 platform). The sequences are 16,673 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other sculpin mt genomes published previously. Comparison of the two M. platycephalus mt genomes now obtained with other complete mt genomes available in GenBank reveals an affinity to the sculpin fishes from the genus Myoxocephalus. The intergeneric difference between the Megalocottus and Myoxocephalus is 0.0757 ± 0.0019, which is significantly less than the corresponding value, 0.1240 ± 0.0120, obtained previously for the sculpin fishes based on the COI barcoding marker.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of two sand diver species (Perciformes, Trichonotidae): novel gene orders and phylogenetic position within Gobiiformes.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two species of the family Trichonotidae, Trichonotus elegans (Shimada and Yoshino 1984) and Trichonotus filamentosus (Steindachner 1867), were determined using a polymerase chain reaction-based method. The genomes ranged from 16,517 to 17,235 bp in length and included 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes) and two non-coding regions (control region and origin of the light strand replication) as in other vertebrates. However, they shared a unique gene order among vertebrates with multiple gene switching and insertions. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Trichonotidae and Apogonidae are sister groups, which together with Kurtidae are placed as a closely related clade of Gobioidei. These results would be useful for analyzing the evolutionary relationships of Gobiiformes and the evolutionary study of fish mitogenomes.
