Abstract: | Polymorphisms of nuclear DNA markers were used to study the genetic variation and differentiation among populations of Penaeus merguiensis in Thailand. The data consisted of three nuclear loci analysed for 163 individuals from five populations collected from the Gulf of Thailand (Trad, Surat Thani and Songkhla) and the Andaman Sea (Satun and Trang). The multilocus FST estimated at three nuclear loci revealed great and highly significant differentiation between the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea (FST=0.203, P<0.001), mostly due to the polymorphism of locus PvAmy. In addition, significant population differentiation was also found within the Gulf of Thailand. These results were compared to that of a previous mitochondrial DNA survey spanning the same geographical range where two divergent mitochondrial clades were reported. The present study brings support to the fact that the existence of these two clades is not due to a mixture of cryptic species but reflects their phylogeographic origin. The strong genetic structure of P. merguiensis on each side of the Thailand peninsula for both mitochondrial and nuclear genes could thus be linked to the phylogeographic divide between Indian Ocean and Pacific forms on the west and east sides respectively. |
