Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Japanese endemic catfish Silurus biwaensis (Siluriformes: Siluridae) from Lake Biwa.

Project description:The Japanese endemic catfish Silurus biwaensis is distributed only in Lake Biwa and Yodo river drainages. There are four species of the genus Silurus in Japan, of which S. biwaensis has a most limited distribution. This catfish needs to be collected for DNA data owing to the lack of information related to its phylogenetic relationship. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of the S. biwaensis from Lake Biwa in Japan was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome of S. biwaensis was identified as a 16,531 bp circular molecule containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The AT content was 55.83%. The heavy (H)-strand was predicted to have 12 PCGs, 14 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes, whereas the light (L)-strand was predicted to contain one PCG and eight tRNA genes. The start codons ATG, ATC, and GTG were found in 13 PCGs. The stop codons TAA, TAG, and AGA were observed in all PCGs, except CytB and COX3. All tRNA genes formed typical cloverleaf secondary structures. The molecular phylogenetic relationships estimated using 13 PCGs (maximum-likelihood method) indicated that S. biwaensis is genetically distinct from the sympatric species S. asotus and S. lithophilus. This result clearly indicated that S. biwaensis is a valid species.

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Eastern Asian catfish Silurus asotus (Siluriformes: Siluridae) from Lake Biwa in Japan.

Project description:The east Asian catfish Silurus asotus is a common species living in fresh water in Japan. The complete mitochondrial genome of the S. asotus from Lake Biwa in Japan was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome of S. asotus was identified as a 16,515 bp circular molecule containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The AT content was 56.1%. Start codons ATG and GTG were found in 13 PCGs. Stop codons TAA, TAG, and AGA were observed in 13 PCGs. The heavy (H)-strand was predicted to have 12 PCGs and 14 tRNA and two rRNA genes, while the light (L)-strand was predicted to contain one PCGs and eight tRNA genes. The molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that S. asotus from Lake Biwa is genetically similar to S. asotus from China.

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Japanese endemic catfish Silurus lithophilus (Siluriformes: Siluridae).

Project description:The Japanese endemic catfish Silurus lithophilus is distributed only in Lake Biwa, Lake Yogo, and their river drainages. There are four species of the genus Silurus in Japan, of which S. lithophilus has a limited distribution. This catfish needs to be collected for DNA data owing to the lack of information related to its conservation. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of the S. lithophilus from Lake Biwa in Japan was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome of S. lithophilus was identified as a 16,524 bp circular molecule containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, along with one A + T-rich control region. The AT content was 55.89%. The heavy (H)-strand was predicted to have 12 PCGs and 15 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes, whereas the light (L)-strand was predicted to contain one PCG and seven tRNA genes. The start codons ATG and GTG were found in 13 PCGs. The stop codons TAA, TAG, and AGA were observed in all PCGs, except CytB. All tRNA genes formed typical cloverleaf secondary structures. The molecular phylogenetic relationship, inferred using 13 PCGs (based on the maximum likelihood), was consistent with that reported in previous studies, which predicted a sister relationship between S. lithophilus and S. asotus. The results also clearly indicated that S. lithophilus is a valid species.

Mitogenomic phylogeny, biogeography, and cryptic divergence of the genus Silurus (Siluriformes: Siluridae).

Project description:The genus Silurus, an important group of catfish, exhibits heterogeneous distribution in Eurasian freshwater systems. This group includes economically important and endangered species, thereby attracting considerable scientific interest. Despite this interest, the lack of a comprehensive phylogenetic framework impedes our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the extensive diversity found within this genus. Herein, we analyzed 89 newly sequenced and 20 previously published mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from 13 morphological species to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships, biogeographic history, and species diversity of Silurus. Our phylogenetic reconstructions identified eight clades, supported by both maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference. Sequence-based species delimitation analyses yielded multiple molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) in several taxa, including the Silurus asotus complex (four MOTUs) and Silurus microdorsalis (two MOTUs), suggesting that species diversity is underestimated in the genus. A reconstructed time-calibrated tree of Silurus species provided an age estimate of the most recent common ancestor of approximately 37.61 million years ago (Ma), with divergences among clades within the genus occurring between 11.56 Ma and 29.44 Ma, and divergences among MOTUs within species occurring between 3.71 Ma and 11.56 Ma. Biogeographic reconstructions suggested that the ancestral area for the genus likely encompassed China and the Korean Peninsula, with multiple inferred dispersal events to Europe and Central and Western Asia between 21.78 Ma and 26.67 Ma and to Japan between 2.51 Ma and 18.42 Ma. Key factors such as the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, onset and intensification of the monsoon system, and glacial cycles associated with sea-level fluctuations have likely played significant roles in shaping the evolutionary history of the genus Silurus.

Restocking of Anabarilius grahami in Lake Fuxian, Southwest China: morphological and genetic effects.

Project description:The restocking of the endangered Kanglang white minnow ( Anabarilius grahami) in Lake Fuxian, China, has been conducted for 13 years. However, few studies have reported on the effectiveness of the captive breeding and release of this species. Here, we investigated variations in morphology, including body shape and skeletal deformities, and genetic features among hatchery-born and recaptured A. grahami from Lake Fuxian. Results showed that current hatchery-reared fish displayed a stubbier body shape than their wild conspecifics from the 1980s. Furthermore, high skeletal deformity ratios were found in two aquafarms (Luchong, 50%; Haikou, 45.2%), and the release of malformed fish elevated the skeletal deformity rate of wild stocks found near the Lake Fuxian release sites (west coast, 19.0%; east coast, 12.5%). Based on variations in the cytochrome b (cyt b) gene, existing A. grahami populations showed relatively high haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity. Hatchery populations exhibited reduced genetic variations based on microsatellite markers and reintroduction led to markedly lower genetic diversity around the west coast release sites of Lake Fuxian. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) of cyt b and microsatellite analysis showed that the greatest genetic variations were found within populations, and genetic distance and Bayesian clustering analysis showed that the 14 populations clustered into one group. Based on morphological and genetic tests, we discuss corresponding recommendations, including release size, feed formulations, breeding strategies, and release tags, to minimize potential risks and improve hatchery practices for better restocking of this species.

Viruses Infecting the European Catfish (Silurus glanis).

Project description:In aquaculture, disease management and pathogen control are key for a successful fish farming industry. In past years, European catfish farming has been flourishing. However, devastating fish pathogens including limiting fish viruses are considered a big threat to further expanding of the industry. Even though mainly the ranavirus (Iridoviridea) and circovirus (Circoviridea) infections are considered well- described in European catfish, more other agents including herpes-, rhabdo or papillomaviruses are also observed in the tissues of catfish with or without any symptoms. The etiological role of these viruses has been unclear until now. Hence, there is a requisite for more detailed information about the latter and the development of preventive and therapeutic approaches to complete them. In this review, we summarize recent knowledge about viruses that affect the European catfish and describe their origin, distribution, molecular characterisation, and phylogenetic classification. We also highlight the knowledge gaps, which need more in-depth investigations in the future.

Socio-economic drivers of specialist anglers targeting the non-native European catfish (Silurus glanis) in the UK.

Project description:Information about the socioeconomic drivers of Silurus glanis anglers in the UK were collected using questionnaires from a cross section of mixed cyprinid fisheries to elucidate human dimensions in angling and non-native fisheries management. Respondents were predominantly male (95%), 30-40 years of age with <10 yr angling experience for S. glanis; most had received college rather than university education. The majority (34%) were employed with low-moderate income status (<£30k per annum), which may restrict time and expenditure spent on angling. Highest angling expenditure was on equipment and bait with most from southern England (54%) spending >£500 per annum. The proportion of time spent angling for S. glanis was significantly related to angler motivations; fish size, challenge in catch, tranquil natural surroundings, escape from daily stress and to be alone were considered important drivers of increased time spent angling. Overall, poor awareness of: the risks and adverse ecological impacts associated with introduced S. glanis, non-native fisheries legislation, problems in use of unlimited ground bait and high fish stocking rates in angling lakes were evident, possibly related to inadequate training and information provided by angling organisations to anglers, as many stated that they were insufficiently informed.
