Phosphoglucomutase of two groups of the loach Cobitis biwae , a fresh-water teleost, was examined by starch gel electrophoresis. Some of the fishes had six-banded electrophoretic patterns not observed in other loach species (e.g. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Cobitis delicata ). The complexity of the pattern is explainable by an assumption that the loaches are tetraploid fishes. The result suggests that a diploid-tetraploid relationship exists within the species Cobitis biwae .  相似文献

The electrophoretic pattern of the loach muscle adenylate kinase was composed of one or two major bands. Each major band was preceded by two minor bands. Three codominant alleles were postulated to segregate in loach. Each allele coded for one major band with different mobility.
Adenylate kinase (AK. E.C. 2.7.4.3.) catalyses the reaction 2ADP ATP + AMP. and is known as a heat stable protein constituent of skeletal muscle. Electrophoretic variation of AK has been reported in the pika Ochotona r. rufescens (Vergnes et al. 1974). the teleostean fish Zoarces viviparus (Frydenberg & Si-monsen, 1973), the mussel Mvtilus edulis (Ahmad et al. 1977). and the tunicate Ciona intestinalis (Schmidtke & Engel. 1980). In this note, individual variation of AK in muscle extracts of the fresh-water fish Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is described.
Loach were collected in ponds or purchased from fish shops (Table 1 & Fig. 1). Three populations (OS. AS and KN) were purchased from fish shops in Osaka. Akashi and Kanazawa cities, respectively. Their exact sampling locations were not known. For reference, the locations of these cities are indicated by an open circle in Fig. i. Fish were collected and stored frozen at – 20 oC at the sampling time given in Table 1. Muscle extracts were prepared and examined in the period February-April 1981.The method for preparing muscle extract and-the starch gel electrophoretic procedures were the same as those reported previously (Kimura, 1976). The amine-citrate buffer system as described by Clayton & Tretiak (1972) was used. AK was stained by the method of Allendorf et al. (1977). After electrophoresis, an inhibition test was also performed by immersing the gel in 10-3 M 5.5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate) solution for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Under the electrophoretic condition used in the present study, all of the AK  相似文献

Isoenzyme patterns of lactatedehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27) were determined in the loach (Misgurnus fossilis) oocytes, unfertilized eggs, developing embryos and larvae, and the sensitivity of the isoenzymes to the effect of AgNO3, p-chlormercurybenzoate and high temperature were investigated. The presence of 4 phenotypes of LDH patterns which differed in the isozymes number, in their relative activity, in electrophoretic mobility in the polyacrylamide gel columnes and in the frequency of occurence in different populations of the investigated species is demonstrated. Before the hatching stage there appeared a new isozyme which was completely inhibited by AgNO3 and had the same electrophoretic mobility in all LDH phenotypes. During the larvae development the content of this LDH isozyme increased. Some isozymes, especially those which had low anodic mobility and decreased in their relative quantity, disappeared during the development of embryos and larvae, p-Chlormercurybenzoate in the concentration 1 mM and heating at 70 degrees C during 20 minutes did not significantly affect LDH activities in the loach eggs, embryos and larvae.  相似文献

Morphometric and electrophoretic variation are analysed among Iberian and African populations of Cobitis (Cobitidae). Three discrete morphotypes are distinguished, showing a remarkable genetic differentiation among them. Each of the three morphotypes is judged to represent a species, one being described as a new species. Both approaches agree on the separate status of the Iberian populations from the Alagón drainage, Tagus basin of west central Spain. This population is described as a new species, Cobitis vettonica sp. nov., a sexually dimorphic spined loach was assigned to the subgenus Iberocobitis Bacescu, 1961. Morphometric and electrophoretic data placed this new species phenetically close to Cobitis maroccana Pellegrin, 1929 and Cobitis pahdica De Buen, 1930, but differs from these species in overall shape, male coloration pattern, shorter barbels and fins, posterior lamina of the cleithrum, seven branched rays on the dorsal fin and in having a unique alleles at sAAT-2*, EST-1* and MPI* loci. The new species range described in this paper is more restricted than that of C. pahdica. Both inhabit the Tagus basin but have not been reported to be sympatric.  相似文献

Ontogenetic and spatial variability in microhabitat use of spined loach Cobitis taenia (Linnaeus), considered as one species for the purposes of this study, and stone loach Barbatula barbatula (Linnaeus) were examined in the River Great Ouse basin, England, using multivariate and habitat suitability methods, including a technique for handling spatial variation in collections of preference curves. Distinct ordinations of spined age classes and stone loach developmental stages, respectively, in canonical correspondence analysis of species × variables × samples relationships suggest that the two species occupy completely different microhabitats; however, young‐of‐the‐year spined loach occurred more often than expected with all developmental stages of stone loach except young larvae. Water velocity and filamentous algae were the most influential microhabitat variables, the latter decreasing in importance with increasing age of both fish species. Preferred water velocities generally decreased with age in spined loach and increased in stone loach, with substratum size generally increasing with fish age in both species. Spatial variation in microhabitat preferences was great in both species but less so in the spined loach, suggesting that limited plasticity in habitat use could account, at least in part, for the latter species’ limited distribution and abundance in the catchment. Preference curves for a species, if generated and verified for all life intervals and all seasons, could be used as a management tool for a given stream or sector of river basin. But preference curves should be generated for each location to ensure that river management decisions with regard habitat and species conservation consider local‐level species requirements. Thus, a multi‐(eco)species and multi‐scale approach is required in habitat suitability assessments.  相似文献

No quantitative differences in the effect of acetone-dried pituitaries from male and female plaice upon loach-recipients (Misgurnus fossilis) have been found in testing the activity of the glands on plaice-recipients. This fact suggests the existence of qualitative differences between gonadotropins from plaice males and females. This conclusion was supported in the experiments on the effect of purified gonadotropic fractions, isolated separately from male and female hypophyses, on maturation of the loach. Three gonadotropic fractions obtained by preparative disc-electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel, differ in their biological activity and electrophoretic mobility. The activity of gonadotropic fractions in males is higher, than in females; electrophoretic mobility of two fractions is also higher in males, whereas the third fraction does not exhibit sexual differences.  相似文献

Molecular variation in six nuclear genes provides substantive phylogenetic evidence for the recognition of a new cypriniform family, the Ellopostomatidae, to include the enigmatic Southern Asia loach genus Ellopostoma. The current six loach families form a monophyletic group, with the Nemacheilidae as the sister group to Ellopostomatidae; Vaillantellidae forms the sister group to all families exclusive of Botiidae. While the superfamily Cobitoidea includes eight families, the monophyly of this large clade within the Cypriniformes remains a vexing problem despite extensive molecular analyses and is in need of further investigation.  相似文献

The pond loach Misgurnus dabryanus is a freshwater fish with a distribution range spanning the eastern part of the Asian continent, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. The pond loach was transplanted to the Japanese archipelago through the co-inclusion with dojo loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus species complex) populations, which were imported live from China for food materials, and it is currently distributed widely across Japan. A previous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis revealed that a pond loach population in Ehime Prefecture (Shikoku Island, Japan) included two highly diverged mtDNA groups (Groups I and II). To examine the origin of these two distinct forms of mtDNA within the Japanese pond loach population, we performed phylogenetic analyses using sequences based on the mtDNA of cytochrome oxidase b (cyt b) and the nuclear DNA recombination activating gene 1 (RAG-1). We also conducted a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to examine the establishment of reproductive isolation between sympatric pond loaches with two different mtDNA groups. Our mtDNA phylogenetic results indicated that the two diverged pond loach mtDNA sequences showed polyphyletic relationships among Misgurnus species and its related genus Cobitis. In contrast, there were no clear divergence in nuclear DNA among the pond loaches irrespective of their mtDNA groups, and they all formed monomorphic clades in the phylogenetic relationships among the species. The discrepancy between the mtDNA and nuclear DNA genes support that the existence of two diverged forms of DNA within the pond loach population could be attributed to past mtDNA introgressions from other species rather than convergent evolution. Previous mtDNA phylogenetic studies among Cobitidae revealed that the dojo loach also consisted of two genetically diverged polyphyletic clades: an original Misgurnus mtDNA and an introgressed mtDNA from Cobitis species. In our mtDNA result, the Group II haplotype of the pond loach was included in the mtDNA from the introgressed dojo loach. This suggested that the Group II haplotype was derived from introgressed dojo loach mtDNA. The close relationships between the introgressed dojo loach and the pond loach mtDNA indicated that this secondary introgression had recently occurred via hybridization in a recent artificial aquaculture or transportation process. Common RAG-1 alleles and RAPD bands were shared between the sympatric pond loaches with original and introgressed mtDNAs. This indicates that the introgressed mtDNA haplotype is included as one of the polymorphic genotypes within the pond loach populations, and does not represent existence of different cryptic species.  相似文献

We examined the functional morphology of loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus skin by using synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (SR-μCT) and high-contrast staining using osmium tetroxide or phosphotungstic acid (PTA), which enhances the image contrast of soft tissues. The captured high-spatial resolution images revealed that the surface ornamentations were stuck in the basement membrane of the loach scales. The ornamentations consisting of grooves (radii) and ridges (circuli) that can move freely and bend flexibly. The cross-sectional lateral microstructures of flat, concave and convex loach skins were observed from a live image of loach skin obtained through dark-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The thickness of loach skin was changed with varying empty space between the mucous-cell layer and the scales by bending motion of loach. In addition, through direct measurement of drag reduction of loach skin, the mucous layer was found to have a strong influence on the reduction of skin friction. The present results enhance the understanding of the functional morphologies of mucous layer of loach to secrete mucus for skin friction reduction.  相似文献

In this paper we report for the first time the results of histology of the golden loach (S. baltica) gonads (25 females and 8 males) and absolute fecundity of females from the Bug River during the reproductive season. The golden loach has an asynchronous ovary and spawns in batches. The absolute fecundity of the golden loach ranged from 1507 to 7220 eggs (3050±1377). We hypothesize that the golden loach spawns twice a year.  相似文献

Artificial interspecific hybrids between large scale loach P. dabryanus and tetraploid pond loach M. anguillicaudatus (Cobitidae, Cypriniformes) are viable. To detect the occurrence of possible natural hybridization, genetic analyses by using microsatellite markers were performed for natural populations of large scale loach and pond loach, the reciprocal laboratory hybrids, and “supposed hybrids” with ambiguous morphology. The fertility of the artificial hybrids was also tested. At one diagnostic microsatellite (Mac50), one out of 20 “supposed hybrids” was identified to be F1 hybrid between the two loach species because it had the same genotype as that of the laboratory hybrids. The triploid hybrids between the two species were confirmed to be female-sterile. The results show that rare hybridization has occurred between diploid large scale loach and tetraploid pond loach in nature although it may have little effect in genetic introgression. This study is helpful for fish conservation and encourages further investigation on natural hybridization and introgression of loaches.  相似文献

The distribution of the oriental weatherloach, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, together with related environmental factors were surveyed at 185 paddy field locations on Sado Island in Japan. This was associated with the reintroduction of the Japanese crested ibis, Nipponia nippon, which prefers to feed on the loach. Loach were found to be present at 90 locations (49%). Analysis with GIS, GLM and AIC revealed that positive factors for the loach distribution included the presence of an earth ditch, the connections at outlets and the proportion of paddy field area within an 800 m radius. Conversely, pumping-up water irrigation and flow irrigation affected loach distribution negatively. In an interview survey that was conducted concurrently, older farmers in the area recalled that the loach had once been distributed over almost the entire island (89/96, 93%) about half a century ago. The farmers also suggested that the impact of agricultural chemicals was one of the main reasons for loach reduction or local extinction. A map of the current potential loach distribution was made using the best fit model from GIS variables. The loach was expected to be distributed in the Kuninaka region with high probability (60–100%) and in patches in the Osado and Kosado regions with low–medium probability (10–50%). As a feasible scenario for the conservation of the loach, another predictive map of the loach distributions was made using a model fit based on the GIS variables and outlet connection, in which the all of the outlets were presumed to be connected to the ditches without gaps. In this case, the loach were expected to be distributed almost throughout the paddy fields with medium–high probability (40–100%). In another scenario that presumed the complete land consolidation of all the paddy fields, the probability of loach occurrence was low (0–30%) throughout the island with the exception of the island’s center in the Kuninaka region.  相似文献

An endangered tetraploid spined loach species, Cobitis takenoi (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae; hereafter called Tango loach) is known to inhabit only a single river in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Since Tango loach was discovered recently, in 2010, and only described in 2016, its morphology, ecology, and genetics are not well studied. Another tetraploid spined loach species Cobitis sp. BIWAE type A (hereafter, called Ohshima loach) inhabits the same river. The two loaches are reported as morphologically distinguishable from each other. Although the habitats of the two species in the river are segregated (Ohshima loach and Tango loach inhabit the upper and lower reaches, respectively), they overlap to a small degree in the boundary area. Recently, some individuals with morphological characteristics that are intermediate between the two species were found in the overlap zone. It was suspected that hybrids between the two species were produced since breeding seasons of the two species overlapped. To investigate whether the two species produce hybrids, we performed mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses on the unidentifiable individuals. Eight individuals unidentifiable to the species level collected in the river between 2017 and 2018 were examined and compared with the Tango and Ohshima loach species. Using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b analysis, we found that six individuals had mtDNA types identical to Tango loach and two individuals had mtDNA types identical to Ohshima loach. Furthermore, sequencing analysis of nuclear recombination activating gene 1 (RAG-1) revealed that each species had species-specific alleles. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that alleles in Tango loach were divided into two clusters and those from Ohshima loach formed a single cluster. There were no discrepancies in the combination between mtDNA and nuclear DNA species types within each specimen. DNA fingerprinting analysis (AFLP) showed that the species-unidentifiable individuals exhibited distinctly segregated genetic groups corresponding with Tango and Ohshima loaches. In summary, no hybrids were detected from among any unidentifiable individual examined in this study. New conventional genetic method for discriminating the two sympatric loach species developed here can be effective tool for the conservation of the Tango loach since there was no strict diagnostic morphological character between them.  相似文献

We examined habitat factors related to the distribution and abundance of the spinous loach Cobitis shikokuensis, an endangered benthic fish, in the Shigenobu River system, southwestern Japan. In the study river, the spinous loach was distributed widely along the main stem, from headwater to near the mouth, whereas it was rarely found in tributary streams. Classification tree analysis showed that the presence/absence of spinous loach was explained by a combination of percent pebble and length of river fragment between artificial barriers. Spinous loach incidence was high in sites with abundant pebble (>27.7%), but low in sites with short river fragment (≤0.97 km) even if pebbles were abundant. A regression tree model for loach density retained only percent pebble as a single best predictor, with sites with higher percent pebble (>40.4%) having higher density. These results suggest that substrate condition is an important factor determining the distribution and abundance of spinous loach and also that habitat fragmentation by artificial barriers has great potential to threaten the spinous loach population in this river. Considering the highly fragmented situation of the study river and prevention of upstream migration by barriers, we conclude that maintenance of suitable habitats in upper reaches has high priority for conservation of the spinous loach.  相似文献

The activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in loach and sturgeon embryogenesis as well as in red and white skeletal muscles of loach was studied. The specific activity of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms of superoxide dismutase in developing sturgeon embryos was higher than in loach embryos, which may be due to oxygen conditions under which these species develop in nature. A similar dependence was also observed for the activity of glutathione peroxidase in embryos of these fish species. A comparative study of specific superoxide dismutase activity in loach and sturgeon embryos and in loach skeletal muscles showed that the activity of cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase is maximum in red and white muscles and minimum in loach embryos, whereas the activity of the mitochondrial form of this enzyme is maximum in red skeletal muscles.  相似文献

Understanding the significance of electrophoretic variation is of interest for both ecological and evolutionary genetics. Although there has been a very active neutralist–selectionist debate about the patterns of electrophoretic variation in natural populations, it is only recently that charged amino acids have been shown to be important in enzyme adaptation. In this study we carried out a broad electrophoretic survey of amylase variation in 150 species of Drosophilids. The distribution of amylase electromorphs was found to be correlated with the geographical origin of the flies. Generally the faster migrating variants are found in warmer temperatures. There is also a correlation with the feeding habits of the species, in particular, fungus feeders consistently showed a deviating pattern of electrophoretic mobility. These correlations between ecological diversity and electrophoretic patterns indicate that at least some of the changes in charged amino acids are adaptive, and result from selection to cope with specific environments.  相似文献
