| Abstract: | Molecular genetic and karyological analyses of antlered sculpin, Enophrys diceraus, from the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk were carried out. The karyotype of this species was studied for the first time. On the basis of karyological analysis, it was established that E. diceraus from the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk was polymorphic in terms of the number of chromosomes and their morphology (2n = 36, 35, and 37, NF = 40). It was suggested that the karyotype with 35 chromosomes could have been produced as a result of Robertsonian translocation; the karyotype with 37 chromosomes could have been produced by crossing of individuals with different number of chromosomes. On the basis of the molecular genetic analysis of the mitochondrial COI and 16S rRNA genes, considerable differences between E. diceraus from the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk corresponding to the level of interspecies genetic variability were established. It is concluded that E. diceraus from the Sea of Japan belongs to another species, most likely, E. namiyei. |
