基于线粒体DNA控制区序列变异探讨黑龙江和图们江细鳞鲑属鱼类的分类地位

基于细鳞鲑属Brachymystas鱼类的线粒体DNA控制区基因序列变异,对分布于黑龙江水系中国境内的尖吻细鳞鲑(sharp-snouted lenok)和钝吻细鳞鲑(blunt-snouted lenok),及分布于图们江的图们江细鳞鲑B.tumensis进行分子系统关系研究,为进一步确定黑龙江水系2种细鳞鲑的分类学地位、有效命名及图们江细鳞鲑物种地位性提供分子生物学依据.分布于黑龙江水系的细鳞鲑种群在系统发育树中明显构成2个独立的进化分支,分别对应可经形态鉴别而差异显著的尖吻细鳞鲑和钝吻细鳞鲑,平均序列分歧为1.9%,在属内已达到种间分化水平;图们江细鳞鲑与尖吻细鳞鲑的呼玛河、乌苏里江、奎勒河等种群共同构为1个进化分支,与尖吻细鳞鲑的序列分歧(平均为1.2%)远低于与钝吻细鳞鲑的序列分歧(平均为2.2%).结合形态学的初步研究结果(图们江细鳞鲑的主要形态特征偏向于尖吻细鳞鲑),不支持图们江细鳞鲑独立种的分类地位,建议为尖吻细鳞鲑B.lenok的同物异名,也不支持普遍认为的钝吻细鳞鲑的有效学名为B.tumensis,其有效命名还待商榷,暂属未定名种.综上所述,基于基因序列分析的遗传学结果进一步验证了形态学的分类结论,即在黑龙江水系细鳞鲑属有2个独立的种,分别为尖吻细鳞鲑B.lenok和钝吻细鳞鲑B.sp.,而图们江细鳞鲑B.tumensis应归为尖吻细鳞鲑B.lenok的同物异名.     

Comparative mtDNA sequence (control region, ATPase 6 and NADH‐1) divergence in Hucho taimen(Pallas) across four Siberian river basins

Hucho taimen from eight populations spanning four drainage basins (Amur, Lena, Enisei and Khatanga) were analysed for nucleotide sequence variation across three mitochondrial genes (ATP6, NADH‐1 and control region). Samples of H. hucho , Brachymystax lenok (sharp‐snouted and blunt‐snouted forms) and Parahucho perryi were also included for comparison. Nucleotide variation across a total of 1826 base pairs in H. taimen revealed shared haplotypes between the Amur and Lena basins, further supporting a previous hypothesis of late to post‐Pleistocene hydrological exchange between these now disjunct basins. In contrast to an earlier study using the control region alone, clear phylogeographic structure was seen at a large geographic scale, reflected by two phylogroups, one corresponding to the Amur and Lena basins, and the other to the Enisei and Khatanga basins. Comparative rates of divergence revealed considerably faster and less heterogeneous substitution rates for the two coding genes, especially at interspecific levels compared to the mtDNA control region.     

利用线粒体DNA控制区序列分析细鳞鲑种群的遗传结构

细鳞鲑(Brachymystaxlenok)是我国重要的经济鱼类,由于过度捕捞、环境污染及其他因素的影响,其种群已处于濒危状态。研究细鳞鲑种群的遗传结构对于探讨这一物种的形成与演化及其有效保护等问题具有十分重要的意义。本文测定了我国东部水系的细鳞鲑7个种群71个个体的线粒体DNA控制区序列片段(835bp),发现43个变异位点,共计15个单倍型。AMOVA分析结果表明,不同的地理区域之间存在显著的遗传分化(63.55%),而区域内和种群内的遗传变异分别只有24.17%和12.28%。采用邻接法(NJ)构建分子系统树,结果表明,单倍型被分成3个与各自的地理区域相对应的族群,各地理区域之间没有共享的单倍型。细鳞鲑的这种独特的遗传结构与其进化历史(例如地理隔离造成基因流的长期中断)和生物学特性(例如有限的散布能力和基因交换能力)有密切的关系。根据上述研究结果,我们建议对这3个遗传分化显著的地理区域加以保护,并按照不同的水系来保护种群,避免不同区域的种群之间发生基因交流。     

鸭绿江细鳞鱼的生物学

细鳞鱼是鸭绿江的重要经济鱼类。幽门垂数、鳃耙数及侧线鳞数与国内其他产地相比呈现明显交叉。支流十三道沟河口以上的5公里江段为主要产卵场。产卵期为4—5月,盛期4月末。成熟个体多数4龄,最小成熟雌鱼体长309毫米。体长285—438毫米,体重315—1098克的个体绝对怀卵量1629至3119(平均2194),与体长L的关系式N=9.54924 L-1297.3246,与体重W的关系式N=2.2207W 641.6345。卵径3.5—4.0毫米。水温5.3—9.0℃时,受精后625小时孵出。用鳞片测定年龄及生长。3龄鱼体长可达356毫米,5龄鱼体长一般为389毫米。体长与体重的关系式W_(?)=0.002486L~(2.9146),W_♀=0.004509L~(2.8978)。     

不同适应条件对细鳞鲑幼鱼游泳能力的影响

为了研究适应条件对鲑科鱼类幼鱼续航游泳能力的影响,在(16.0±0.2)℃和8 mg/L溶解氧条件下,以续航时间作为评定游泳能力的关键指标,通过适应时间、适应流速、加速时间以及测试流速对细鳞鲑幼鱼的续航游泳时间的影响进行了研究,试验采用4因素8水平的均匀设计方案。结果表明,最大适应流速应控制在1—1.5 BL/s为宜,相应的最佳适应时间应为1 h,在合理条件下适应流速和适应时间对续航游泳能力的影响可忽略不计;加速时间只在大流速条件下(0.5 m/s)对续航时间有极显著影响,其他情况的影响可以忽略不计;尽管长时间适应环境更有利于鱼类身体机能的充分调整,但适应时间仍建议控制在1—2 h以内,且受试鱼类要经过试验前的适应能力筛选;测试流速建议控制在3—4 BL/s以内,以避免超过鱼类的最大游泳耐受范围。测试流速对细鳞鲑幼鱼的续航时间有极为显著的影响,其续航时间随测试流速的增加呈幂函数规律衰减。

Isolation and characterization of Brachymystax lenok microsatellite loci and cross‐species amplification in Hucho spp. and Parahucho perryi

We isolated and characterized eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for Brachymystax lenok (Pallas, 1773) from genomic libraries enriched for (GATA)_n, (GACA)_n and (ATG)_n microsatellites. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 17. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.2 to 0.95. In addition, cross‐species amplification was successful for seven loci in Hucho hucho, eight in H. taimen and seven in Parahucho perryi.     

Fish conservation in the land of steppe and sky: Evolutionarily significant units of threatened salmonid species in Mongolia mirror major river basins

Mongolia's salmonids are suffering extensive population declines; thus, more comprehensive fisheries management and conservation strategies are required. To assist with their development, a better understanding of the genetic structure and diversity of these threatened species would allow a more targeted approach for preserving genetic variation and ultimately improve long‐term species recoveries. It is hypothesized that the unfragmented river basins that have persisted across Mongolia provide unobstructed connectivity for resident salmonid species. Thus, genetic structure is expected to be primarily segregated between major river basins. We tested this hypothesis by investigating the population structure for three salmonid genera (Hucho, Brachymystax and Thymallus) using different genetic markers to identify evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) and priority rivers to focus conservation efforts. Fish were assigned to separate ESUs when the combined evidence of mitochondrial and nuclear data indicated genetic isolation. Hucho taimen exhibited a dichotomous population structure forming two ESUs, with five priority rivers. Within the Brachymystax genus, there were three B. lenokESUs and one B. tumensisESU, along with six priority rivers. While B. tumensiswas confirmed to display divergent mtDNA haplotypes, haplotype sharing between these two congeneric species was also identified. For T. baicalensis,only a single ESU was assigned, with five priority rivers identified plus Lake Hovsgol. Additionally, we confirmed that T. nigrescens from Lake Hovsgol is a synonym of T. baicalensis. Across all species, the most prominent pattern was strong differentiation among major river basins with low differentiation and weak patterns of isolation by distance within river basins, which corroborated our hypothesis of high within‐basin connectivity across Mongolia. This new genetic information provides authorities the opportunity to distribute resources for management between ESUs while assigning additional protection for the more genetically valuable salmonid rivers so that the greatest adaptive potential within each species can be preserved.     

温度和重复测定对秦岭细鳞鲑快速启动反应、游泳性能及力竭后代谢特征的影响

在全球气候变暖背景下,冷水性鱼类的温度适应性备受关注。秦岭细鳞鲑(Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis)是目前世界上分布最南端的两种鲑科鱼类之一,为国家Ⅱ级重点保护水生野生动物。尽管温度是决定该物种生存与分布的关键因子,然而其热生物学相关研究至今鲜见报道。研究考察了驯化温度(6℃、12℃和18℃)和重复测定对秦岭细鳞鲑生态相关的重要指标如快速启动反应、游泳性能及力竭后代谢特征的影响。结果发现:(1)快速启动反应时滞(Latency time,Tlatency)随温度升高而变短(P<0.05),但温度和重复测定对反应率(Reaction rate,R)无显著影响(P>0.05);(2)温度对步法转换速度(Gait transition speed,Ugait)和匀加速游泳速度(Constant acceleration test speed,Ucat)影响显著(P<0.05),重复测定对Ugait和Ucat无显著影响(P>0.05);(3)温度对日常代谢率(Routine metabolic rate, RMR)和最大代谢率(Maximum metabolic rate, MMR)影响显著(P<0.05)、对代谢空间(Metabolic scope,MS)无显著影响(P>0.05),重复测定对MMR和MS均无显著影响(P>0.05);(4)低温驯化方向(6—12℃)生理参数的Q10值较大,而高温驯化方向(12—18℃)生理参数的Q10值较小。研究结果提示:(1)高温下秦岭细鳞鲑快速启动反应更为迅速,但该物种对低强度机械刺激主要采用静息而非逃逸的策略;(2)秦岭细鳞鲑游泳性能对温度变化的敏感性较高,游泳性能的最适温度估计介于12—18℃之间;(3)秦岭细鳞鲑具备较好的代谢恢复与重复运动能力,但总体上游泳性能较弱,可能易受生境水温和水流环境变化的限制。
