Eight in One: Hidden Diversity of the Bagrid Catfish Tachysurus albomarginatus s.l. (Rendhal, 1928) Widespread in Lowlands of South China.

ABSTRACT: There is increasing evidence that species diversity is underestimated in the current taxonomy of widespread freshwater fishes. The bagrid species T. albomarginatus s.l. is mainly distributed in the lowlands of South China, as currently identified. A total of 40 localities (including the type locality), which covers most of its known range, were sampled. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on concatenated mtDNA and nuclear genes recover nine highly supported lineages clustering into eight geographic populations. The integration of molecular evidence, morphological data, and geographic distribution demonstrates the delineation of T. albomarginatus s.l. as eight putative species. Four species, namely, T. albomarginatus, T. lani, T. analis, and T. zhangfei sp. nov. and the T. similis complex are taxonomically recognized herein. Moreover, T. zhangfei sp. nov. comprises two genetically distinct lineages with no morphological and geographical difference. This study also reveals aspects of estimation of divergence time, distribution, and ecological adaption within the T. albomarginatus group. The unraveling of the hidden species diversity of this lowland bagrid fish highlights the need for not only the molecular scrutiny of widely distributed species of South China but also the adjustment of current biodiversity conservation strategies to protect the largely overlooked diversity of fishes from low-elevation rapids.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a bagrid catfish, Tachysurus nudiceps, and its phylogenetic implications for the classification of the bagrid genera.

Project description:The complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Tachysurus nudiceps (family Bagridae; order Siluriformes) was determined using next-generation sequencing. The composition of its mitogenome is the same as that observed in most other vertebrates and consists of 37 genes, an L-strand replication origin and a control region. As in previous studies, our phylogenetic analyses revealed that many of the bagrid genera are not monophyletic, emphasizing the necessity for reviewing and revising the taxonomy of this family at the genus level.

The complete mitogenome of Bagrid catfish Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Siluriformes: Claroteidae).

Project description:We here report the complete mitochondrial genome of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, which is 16,514 bp in length. Mitogenome of C. nigrodigitatus showed the conserved 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and two noncoding regions including the light-strand replication origin (OL) and a putative control region (CR). All tRNA genes were predicted to fold into the typical cloverleaf secondary structures with the typical base-pairing except for tRNA-Ser(AGC). Phylogenetic analysis with currently known complete mitogenome sequences in Siluriformes showed that C. nigrodigitatus is most closely related to Auchenoglanis occidentalis forming a family Claroteidae cluster.

From taxonomic deflation to newly detected cryptic species: Hidden diversity in a widespread African squeaker catfish.

Project description:Cryptic genetic diversity and erroneous morphological species determination represent frequent problems in biodiversity research. Here, examination of 138 specimens of Synodontis (Mochokidae, Siluriformes) from the Nile River and Lake Turkana revealed the presence of both S. schall-like and S. frontosus-like morphotypes, with a phenotypic gradient between them. We concluded phylogenetic and population genetic analyses based on two mitochondrial and one nuclear marker including 131 coxI (565?bp), 96 cytb (973?bp) and 19 RAG2 (896?bp) sequences from the Nile-Turkana population, plus additional GenBank data of Synodontis spp. Whilst nuclear data were inconclusive, mitochondrial sequences suggested that both morphotypes and intermediate forms are conspecific. The results imply probable synonymy of S. frontosus with S. schall. Conversely, a strong biogeographical signal was revealed among widely distributed and supposedly conspecific S. schall-like catfish of the Nilo-Sudanian ichthyological province. Synodontis schall sensu stricto (=Eastern clade), as defined by type locality in the Nile, is apparently restricted to the eastern part of the Nilo-Sudanian ichthyological province (e.g. Nile, Turkana, Chad). Synodontis schall Western clade (Senegambia, Niger, Chad) most probably represents a cryptic taxon, unrecognized thus far due to the absence of distinctive morphological differences.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Tachysurus vachellii, natural diploid catfish from Nansi Lake.

Project description:Tachysurus vachellii are commercially important edible fish due to delicious taste, little bone in muscle, and high nutritional value especially in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of Tachysurus vachellii has been sequenced. The mitochondrial genome is 16,529 bp in length, with the base composition of 31.6% A, 26.6% T, 26.9% C, and 14.9% G, containing two ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a major non-coding control region (D-loop region). The gene order and orientation are similar with some typical fish species. The data will provide useful molecular information for phylogenetic studies concerning T. vachellii and its related species.

Generation of myostatin B knockout yellow catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco) using transcription activator-like effector nucleases.

Project description:Myostatin (Mstn), a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily, plays an inhibiting role in mammalian muscle growth. Mammals like human, cattle, mouse, sheep, and dog carrying null alleles of Mstn display a double-muscle phenotype. Mstn is conserved in fish; however, little is known whether the fish with mutated mstn display a similar phenotype to mammals because of the lack of mutant fish with mstn null alleles. Previously, we knocked out one of the duplicated copies of myostatin gene (mstna) in yellow catfish using zinc-finger nucleases. In this study, we report the identification of the second myostatin gene (mstnb) and knockout of mstnb in yellow catfish. The gene comprises three exons. It is predicted to encode 373 amino acid residues. The predicted protein exhibits 59.3% identity with yellow catfish Mstna and 57.3% identity with human MSTN. Employing TALEN (transcription activator-like effector nucleases) technology, we obtained two founders (from four randomly selected founders) of yellow catfish carrying the mutated mstnb gene in their germ cells. Totally, six mutated alleles of mstnb were obtained from the founders. Among the six alleles, four are nonframeshift and two are frameshift mutation. The frameshift mutated alleles include mstnb(nju22), an 8 bp deletion, and mstnb(nju24), a complex type of mutation comprising a 7 bp deletion and a 12 bp insertion. They are predicted to encode function null Mstnb. Our results will help to understand the roles of mstn genes in fish growth.

Life-history traits of a tropical bagrid catfish, Mystus mysticetus Roberts, 1992, caught from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

Project description:Population's biological parameters, including length at first capture, mortalities, exploitation rates, growth coefficient, longevity, and recruitment times, are essential in assessing fishing status, but there is no data on Mystus mysticetus. Therefore, the study was conducted to provide these parameters to assess the fishing status of this species at Cai Rang, Can Tho (CRCT) and Long Phu, Soc Trang (LPST). A collection of 741 individual fish was used for analysis and showed that most fish size groups ranged from 9.0 cm to 12.0 cm, and the asymptotic length was 16.8 cm for both CRCT and LPST populations. The fish population von Bertalanffy curve was L t = 16.80(1 - e-0.51(t + 0.38)) at CRCT and L t = 16.80(1 - e-0.48(t + 0.40)) at LPST. The fish growth coefficient at CRCT (2.16) was higher than at LPST (2.13), whereas the reverse case was true for longevity ranging from 5.88 years (at CRCT) to 6.25 years (at LPST). At CRCT, fishing mortality, natural mortality, total mortality, and exploitation rate were 0.69/year, 1.40/year, 2.09/year, and 0.33, respectively; at LPST, these values were 0.75/year, 1.33/year, 2.08/year, and 0.36, respectively. Although the population parameter of this fish species exhibited a spatial variation, both CRCT and LPST fish resources have not been subjected to overexploit because E (0.33 at CRCT and 0.36 at LPST) is lower than E 0.1 (0.707 at CRCT and 0.616 at LPST).

Genetic Structure and Diversity of Hatchery and Wild Populations of Yellow Catfish Tachysurus fulvidraco (Siluriformes: Bagridae) from Korea.

Project description:Yellow catfish Tachysurus fulvidraco is an important commercial fish species in South Korea. However, due to their current declines in its distribution area and population size, it is being released from hatchery populations into wild populations. Hatchery populations also produced from wild broodstocks are used for its captive breeding. We reported 15 new microsatellite DNA markers of T. fulvidraco to identify the genetic diversity and structure of its hatchery and wild populations, providing baseline data for useful resource development strategies. The observed heterozygosity of the hatchery populations ranged from 0.816 to 0.873, and that of the wild populations ranged from 0.771 to 0.840. Their inbreeding coefficient ranged from -0.078 to 0.024. All populations experienced a bottleneck (p < 0.05), with effective population sizes ranging from 21 to infinity. Their gene structure was divided into two groups with STRUCTURE results of K = 2. It was confirmed that each hatchery population originated from a different wild population. This study provides genetic information necessary for the future development and conservation of fishery resources for T. fulvidraco.

Pathogenicity of Streptococcus iniae causing mass mortalities of yellow catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco) and its induced host immune response.

Project description:The outbreak of mass mortality occurred in Tachysurus fulvidraco farm in Hubei province of China. The pathogenic strain of Streptococcus iniae (termed 2022SI08) was isolated and identified from diseased T. fulvidraco, based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, as well as 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis. Further, the whole genome of isolate S. iniae was sequenced and predicted to contain one single circular chromosome of 1,776,777 bp with a GC content of 37.14%. The genomic sequence analysis showed that 2022SI08 was positive for 204 virulent and 127 antibiotic resistant genes. The experimental challenge demonstrated the high pathogenicity of the retrieved isolate of S. iniae, with a median lethal dosage (LD50) 9.53 × 105 CFU/g. Histopathological examination indicated that the 2022SI08 strain could induce extensive tissue cell degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage, and inflammation in the skin, gill, fin, spleen, liver, kidney, intestine, eye, and brain. Moreover, the innate immune enzyme activities in serum such as acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase were increased significantly at 24 and 48 h post infection (hpi) and then decreased at 168 hpi. The transcriptional profile of immune associated gene in T. fulvidraco following bacterial infection was detected at each point of time, and the results revealed clear transcriptional activation of those genes, which proving their reacting and regulatory role during the response of the host against S. iniae infection. The results revealed that S. iniae was an etiological agent in the mass mortalities of T. fulvidraco and this research will be conducive for increasing our understanding on pathogenesis and host defensive system in S. iniae invasion.
