A genetic analysis of body size in pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
T D Beacham  C B Murray 《Génome》1988,30(1):31-35
Two small-sized and two large-sized male pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were mated to each of four females, producing eight families sired by small males and eight sired by large males. The juveniles were reared for 500 d after fry emergence. Juvenile weight in the two male size classes was similar until the spring of the year of maturity, when juveniles sired by large males grew faster than those sired by small ones. Heritability estimates of weight based upon the dam component of variance increased during 500 d of rearing from 0.4 to 0.8. Heritability of weight based upon the sire component of variance generally ranged between 0.1 and 0.3. The large variation in male body size in spawning pink salmon populations may have resulted from different male breeding strategies.  相似文献

We constructed genetic linkage maps of allozyme loci in even- and odd-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), using the total of 320 families (each female was crossed with two different males, and 80 females and 160 males were used for each of even year and odd year). The maps include eight linkage groups involving 22 loci. We observed substantial variation in recombination frequencies among different families within broodline and between sexes within broodlines. In the linkage analysis between sAAT-3* and sMDH-B1,2*, two even-year families and one odd-year family exhibited evidence of association, but two even-year and one odd-year families did not. Recombination rate tends to be reduced in males in pink salmon. The ratio of recombination rate (female/male), which ranged from 1.7 to infinity, averaged 2.8 in the even-year crosses and 3.2 in the odd-year crosses. The linkage groups (LG) I and II involving sAAT and mAH loci, which probably duplicated in the recent tetraploidization event, and the orders of loci in the LGs I (sAAT-3* --> mAH-4*) and II (mAH-3* --> sAAT-4*) were reversed, suggesting the possible paracentric inversion during salmonid evolution after the duplication.  相似文献

Genetic variation at 19 enzyme (including 11 polymorphic) and 10 microsatellite loci was examined in the population samples of odd-and even-broodline pink salmon from the southern part of Sakhalin Island, Southern Kuril Islands, and the northern coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. The estimates of relative interpopulation component of genetic variation for the allozyme loci, per broodline, were on average 0.43% (G ST), while over the microsatellite loci it was 0.26% (the ?ST coefficient, F-statistics based on the allele frequency variance), and 0.90% (the ρST coefficient, R-statistics based on the allele size variance). The values of interlinear component constituted 2.34, 0.31, and 1.05% of the total variation, respectively. Using the allozyme loci, statistically significant intralinear heterogeneity was demonstrated among the regions, as well as among the populations of southern Sakhalin. Multidimensional scaling based on the allozyme data demonstrated regional clustering of the sample groups, representing certain populations during the spawning run or in different years. Most of the microsatellite loci examined were found to be highly polymorphic (mean heterozygosity > 0.880). The estimates of interlinear, interregional, and interpopulation variation over these loci in terms of ?ST values were substantially lower than in terms of ρST values. Regional genetic differentiation, mostly expressed at the allozyme loci between the populations from the northern Sea of Okhotsk and the Sakhalin and Kuril group of populations, was less expressed at the microsatellite loci. The differentiation between these regions observed can be considered as the evidence in favor of a large-scale isolation by distance characterizing Asian pink salmon. It is suggested that in pink salmon, low genetic differentiation at neutral microsatellite loci can be explained by extremely high heterozygosity of the loci themselves, as well as by the migration gene exchange among the populations (the estimate of the gene migration coefficient inferred from the “private” allele data constituted 2.6 to 3.4%), specifically, by the ancient migration exchange, which occurred during postglacial colonization of the range  相似文献

A factorial mating design was employed in which five males were mated to each of five females in each of two stocks for both pink and chum salmon. The resulting embryos and alevins were incubated at constant water temperatures of 4, 8, and 16 degrees C for pink salmon and 3, 8, and 15 degrees C for chum salmon. Variation among families in alevin and fry survival rates, hatching, button-up time, length, and weight was the least at 8 degrees C. Heritability of traits directly correlated with fitness, such as survival rates and button-up time, was low at all temperatures (h2 less than or equal to 0.25). Maternal effects could account for a substantial portion of the variation in alevin and fry size characters. Nonadditive genetic variance accounted for more of the variation in fry size characters than in those of alevins. Negative genetic correlations were observed between embryo survival and subsequent alevin size and between hatching time and subsequent alevin and fry size. Genotype-temperature interactions could underlie a substantial amount of phenotypic variation in the developmental characters examined for both species.  相似文献

Genetic parameters of pink salmon introduced into the White Sea basin in 1985 and 1998 were compared to the corresponding parameters of the donor population from the Ola River (Magadan oblast). The detected genetic differences indicate that colonization of a new area is accompanied by impoverishment of the gene pool of the native population. This effect was particularly marked in the odd-year line of pink salmon introduced in 1985. The probable causes of these genetic changes are discussed.  相似文献

The hormones 17β-estradiol, 17α-hydroxy-20β-dihydroprogesterone(17α, 20β-P), 11-ketotestosterone, testosterone, gonadotropin and also vitellogenin, were determined during the spawning migration of wild pink salmon in the Fraser and Thompson Rivers in British Columbia. This stock of pink salmon takes approximately 2 weeks to migrate the 333 km upstream to the spawning grounds. Both sexes were at an advanced stage of sexual development when they entered fresh water. In females both the 17β-estradiol and vitellogenin levels fell precipitously during the migration, to be very low at spawning, whereas the 17α,20β-P level rose rapidly, to be highest at arrival on the spawning grounds. The gonadotropin level also rose rapidly during the migration, and was highest in spent fish. Testosterone was at a high level throughout, although this level decreased steadily during migration. In many respects similar endocrine changes were observed in the male. For example, in the case of androgen levels, both testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone fell steadily during migration but were still relatively high at spawning, whereas both gonadotropin and 17α, 20β-P levels rose markedly as migration progress. However, although the qualitative changes were often similar between the sexes, the levels of 17α, 20β-P, testosterone, and gonadotropin were considerably higher throughout in females than in males. It is concluded that this stock of pink salmon is at an advanced stage of sexual development when it enters fresh water. The endocrine changes observed during this study represent those controlling the final stages of reproduction, specifically final oocyte maturation and ovulation in females, and the final stages of spermatogenesis and spermiation in males.  相似文献

Summary 3H or14C labeled tracers were used to investigate the metabolism of trimethylamine (TMA), trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), choline, and betaine in free swimming kelp bass (Paralabrax clathratus). An indwelling cannula in the ventral aorta was used to administer tracer and withdraw blood samples. The concentrations of TMA and TMAO were determined in liver, muscle, and plasma. The TMA liver content is higher than that of muscle (0.85 vs 0.01 moles/g wet tissue) while the amount of TMAO in muscle greatly exceeds its liver concentration (60 vs 0.04 moles/g wet tissue). Prolonged fasting (21 and 75 days) or feeding the fish a squid diet containing high levels of TMAO did not alter the tissue concentrations of TMA or TMAO, suggesting that these compounds are endogenous in origin and that their tissue concentrations are subject to regulation. Comparison of the radiospecific activities of TMA and TMAO, and the administered TMA tracer suggest that TMA is channled directly to TMAO in the liver without equilibration in the hepatic TMA pool. The conversion kinetics of TMA to TMAO and the distribution of these amines in liver and muscle with time suggest that labeled TMA is rapidly taken up into a sequestered pool from which it is slowly released, oxidized to TMAO in the liver, and then transported via the circulation to the muscle mass. The location of this proposed sequestered TMA pool was not determined. Experiments with labeled choline and betaine suggest that these compounds are interconverted in the liver and that enzymes are present for conversion of choline betaine TMA TMAO. Labeled dimethylamine (DMA) was not metabolized and is, therefore, probably not a precursor of TMA and TMAO. [14C]Trimethylamine (TMA) was also used to investigate the possible role of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) as an osmoregulatory compound in migrating prespawning cannulated Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) taken from marine or fresh water environments. Marine and fresh water salmon oxidized administered [14C]TMA to TMAO; labeled metabolites other than TMA and TMAO were not detected. Four hours after [14C]TMA injection about 10% of the administered dose was present in muscle as labeled TMAO and about 33% as TMA. Unlike our finding in kelp bass, [14C]TMAO was not recovered in liver, although low amounts of labeled TMA were found (0.4% of administered dose). Labeled TMA and TMAO, however, were detected in liver after [14C]betaine adminstration to a marine salmon, indicating that TMA-mono-oxygenase is present in salmon liver. The presence of labeled choline indicates that choline and betaine are interconverted as in kelp bass. The amount of [14C]TMA oxidized to [14C]TMAO and then accumulated in the muscle mass is the same in marine and fresh water salmon, as is the amount of chemical TMAO present (4.6 moles/g muscle).  相似文献

Smolting salmonids typically require weeks to months of physiological preparation in freshwater (FW) before entering seawater (SW). Remarkably, pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) enter SW directly following yolk absorption and gravel emergence at a size of 0.2 g. To survive this exceptional SW migration, pink salmon were hypothesized to develop hypo-osmoregulatory abilities prior to yolk absorption and emergence. To test this, alevins (pre-yolk absorption) and fry (post-yolk absorption) were transferred from FW in darkness to SW under simulated natural photoperiod (SNP). Ionoregulatory status was assessed at 0, 1 and 5 days post-transfer. SW alevins showed no evidence of hypo-osmoregulation, marked by significant water loss and no increase in gill Na?/K?-ATPase (NKA) activity or Na?:K?:2Cl? cotransporter (NKCC) immunoreactive (IR) cell frequency. Conversely, fry maintained water balance, upregulated gill NKA activity by 50 %, increased the NKA α1b/α1a mRNA expression ratio by sixfold and increased NKCC IR cell frequency. We also provide the first evidence of photoperiod-triggered smoltification in pink salmon, as fry exposed to SNP in FW exhibited preparatory changes in gill NKA activity and α1 subunit expression similar to fry exposed to SNP in SW. Interestingly, fry incurred larger increases in whole body Na? than alevins following both SW and FW + SNP exposure (40 and 20 % in fry vs. 0 % in alevins). The ability to incur and tolerate large ion loads may underlie a novel mechanism for maintaining water balance in SW prior to completing hypo-osmoregulatory development. We propose that pink salmon represent a new form of anadromy termed "precocious anadromy".  相似文献

Historical trends in commercial fishery yields were examined for evidence of structural changes in the North Channel fish community. Significant declines in the abundance of indigenous species occurred primarily as a result of man's activities. Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque) were harvested down to low levels by 1900. Introductions of exotics to the fish community were associated with major changes. Rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax Mitchill) and sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus Linnaeus) colonized the channel in the late 1930s. Concurrently, lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush Walbaum) and burbot (Lota lota Linnaeus), the top deepwater predators, declined to near extinction. Lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis Mitchill) and shallow-water cisco (Coregonus artedii Lesueur) also declined. Without predation pressure, smelt abundance increased to high levels in the 1950s and alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus Wilson), another exotic, peaked during the 1960s. Both species equilibrated at lower levels in the 1970s, perhaps favouring colonization by pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha Walbaum). Pink salmon which are larger and more fecund in Lake Huron than in Lake Superior, are increasing rapidly in numbers and are expanding their range in the channel. Certain whitefish stocks have increased sufficiently to support fishery yields greater than those of the 1930s, despite considerable exploitation pressure. This success is partially in response to the control of sea lamprey since 1961. However both lake whitefish and walleye (Stizostedion vitreum Mitchill) are now rare in the east end of the channel, possibly due to environmental factors such as acid precipitation and metal contaminants. Community stability will not likely be attained until a suitable climax predator becomes reestablished.  相似文献

Plasma insulin concentration was measured by homologous radioimmunoassay in male and female pink salmon. Oncorhynchus gorbuscha , during spawning migration in the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, British Columbia. Although the fish ceased feeding prior to entering fresh water, plasma levels of insulin remained stable (males) or even elevated (females) during the final stages of oogenesis and spermatogenesis, decreasing thereafter. Mean concentrations ranged from 0–69 to 1.24 ng ml−1 in males and from 0.33 to 0.88 ng ml−1 in females. At all stages in the anadromous migration where a significant difference in plasma insulin levels between the sexes was observed, males had higher concentrations than females.  相似文献

Eggs and alevins from 21 families of pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha , from five odd-year broodline stocks spawning in southern British Columbia were incubated under controlled water temperatures of 4° C, 8° C and 12° C. There were significant differences in egg survival among stocks and among families within stocks at all incubation temperatures, but the differences were greatest at 4° C. Alevin survival was at least 97% for each stock at each temperature. The most northern spawning stocks had higher egg survival at 4° C than did the others. Hatching time of the alevins and emergence time of the fry were similar for all five stocks. Alevins hatching at 8° C were longer than those hatching at 4°C or 12°C, but there were no stock differences in alevin length or tissue weight. Stocks with larger eggs produced alevins of greater total weight and more yolk. Emergent fry from Vancouver Island stocks had the greatest tissue weight at 12° C, but Fraser River fry were heaviest at 8° C. There were significant differences among families within stocks for alevin and fry size parameters, suggesting that family variation should be accounted for in studies of salmonid developmental biology.  相似文献

In 1979 and 1981, a genetic marker was bred into one of the five identifiable subpopulations of pink salmon [Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walbaum)] in the Auke Lake drainage in Southeast Alaska. As a result of the marking effort, the frequencies of two malate dehydrogenase (MDH-B1, 2*) alleles were changed in the marked subpopulation, but not in other subpopulations that spawn at different times or places. Between 1983 and 1989, the marker allele frequencies were monitored in many of these subpopulations and in early- and late-run pink salmon spawning in nearby Waydelich Creek, located approximately 1km away. Changes in allele frequencies at MDH-B1, 2*, used to obtain direct estimates of average migration rates (m) from the marked to the unmarked subpopulations, revealed little or no introgression into early subpopulations or into nearby Waydelich Creek. Moreover, spatially distinct late-run Auke Creek subpopulations were not immediately overrun by the more abundant marked subpopulation. These observations suggest that genetic isolation exists between temporally distinct spawning runs and that small temporal and spatial (or ecological) differences contribute to population structure. These observations should be considered in taking actions that affect conservation and harvest management or extensive culture of salmonids.  相似文献

Synopsis The behavior of individual, juvenile pink salmon toward novel prey (Artemia salina) under laboratory conditions is described. Two aspects of predatory behavior, namely latency time to initial prey-capture attempt and prey-capture success, are quantified in relation to chronological age and feeding experience. Initially, mean latency time declined slightly with increasing age up to Day 19 (post-emergence from gravel), but increased sharply to an asymptote with further aging. Mean percentage capture success gradually increased from 7.88% on Day 1 to 92.9% on Day 45. Prior feeding experience on the prey resulted in a decline (to a stable level) in mean latency time in experienced fish compared to control fish. Mean percentage capture success was not significantly altered by prior feeding experience on the prey.  相似文献
