An allozyme survey, using starch-gel electrophoresis, was carried out on eight populations of the Antarctic nemertean worm
Parborlasia corrugatus (McIntosh, 1876) collected from locations around the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. These populations were separated by
distances in the order of tens of kilometres. Genetic variation was estimated over 22 enzyme loci for all populations examined,
giving an observed heterozygosity of 0.142. This was much lower than the expected heterozygosity (H
e
= 0.201), and it was found that there was a significant deficiency of het‐erozygotes across four enzyme loci ( p ≤ 0.01). A more detailed examination of this deficiency of heterozygotes was undertaken for the six populations and six variable
enzyme loci for which the most complete data sets existed. A significant deficiency of heterozygotes was found at the enzyme
locus Odh-1 for four of the six populations examined ( p ≤ 0.01). Mean F
is
(0.240) indicated a significant ( p ≤ 0.01) within-population component of the heterozygote deficiency estimated for the six populations sampled, and this was
mainly due to the␣Ap-1, Odh-1 and Pgm-1 loci. The mean F
st
value (0.036) was also significant ( p ≤ 0.01), indicating a degree of genetic differentiation between populations. The observed levels of genetic differentiation
between populations of P. corrugatus and the significant heterozygote deficiencies were unexpected, because this species has been reported to have a long-lived
planktotrophic larva. It is hypothesised that recruitment of P. corrugatus in the South Orkney Islands originates from genetically distinct populations located in the Weddell Sea and to the west of
the Antarctic Peninsula. Shifts in the relative position of the Weddell Sea Front, Weddell–Scotia Confluence and Scotia Front,
relative to the South Orkney Islands, provide a mechanism for variation in the origin of recruits over time.

In the North Atlantic, 14 regional subpopulations have been proposed for the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena (Linnaeus, 1758). To what degree these populations experience genetic interchange is relatively unknown, particularly on
the larger scale of the North Atlantic as a whole. With the recent completion of several regional genetic studies on population
structure of the harbor porpoise in the North Atlantic, came the opportunity to combine datasets in an effort to broaden the
geographic scope of focus. Three datasets comprised of mitochondrial DNA control region sequences, representing the Northeast
and Northwest Atlantic regions were pooled and reanalyzed to examine the degree of trans-Atlantic exchange among harbor porpoise
populations, and to examine the evolutionary history of the species in the North Atlantic. The movement of harbor porpoises
across the Atlantic appears to occur at a low level. Genetic variability in the Northeast Atlantic is significantly lower
than in the Northwest Atlantic, and may indicate a more recent recolonization for the Northeast Atlantic. The star phylogeny
of northeastern haplotypes, with a number of rare haplotypes closely related to the most abundant type, indicates a recent
population expansion. A disjunction in haplotypic frequencies between the Northeast and Northwest Atlantic probably occurs
east of Greenland, but the exact location and source of the disjunction has yet to be determined.

This paper reports data on 28 allozyme loci in wild and artificially reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) samples, originating from either coastal lagoon or marine sites in the Mediterranean Sea. F
ST analysis (θ estimator) indicated strong genetic structuring among populations; around 34% of the overall genetic variation
is due to interpopulation variation. Pairwise θ estimates showed that, on average, the degree of genetic structuring was much
higher between marine populations than between samples from lagoons. Six polymorphic loci showed differences in allele frequencies
between marine and lagoon samples. Multivariate analyses of individual allozymic profiles and of allele frequencies suggested
that different arrays of genotypes prevail in lagoons compared to marine samples, particularly at those loci that, on the
basis of previous acclimation experiments, had been implicated in adaptation to freshwater. On the other hand, variation at
“neutral” allozyme loci reflects to a greater extent the geographic location of populations. Allozyme differentiation was
also studied in a D. labrax population from the Portuguese coast. Average genetic distance between this population and the Mediterranean populations
was quite high (Nei's D = 0.236) and calls into question the taxonomic status of the Portuguese population. Finally, genetic relationships between
D. labrax and D. punctatus were evaluated. Average Nei's D was 0.648, revealing high genetic differentiation between the two species, even for two sympatric populations of these species
in Egypt; thus gene flow was not indicated between species.

Genetic structure of populations of two species of Chthamalus (Crustacea: Cirripedia) in the north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Protein electrophoresis on starch gels was used to investigate population genetic structure of the barnacles Chthamalus
montagui
Southward and C. stellatus (Poli) over their north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean ranges. In each species, a single locus exhibited marked differentiation
of allele frequencies between Atlantic and Mediterranean localities; in C. stellatus, genetic differentiation between the two basins had not previously been noted. In both species, mean heterozygosity per locus
appeared higher in the Mediterranean samples than in the Atlantic, and Mediterranean populations had more alleles at the loci
studied. Possible explanations for the differentiation between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean populations are discussed.

Results of isozyme electrophoresis were used to explore the genetic relationships between several Mediterranean morphs of
Cerithium (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia), for which taxonomy is currently uncertain because of high intraspecific variability and low
interspecific differentiation. The large species, classically known as C. vulgatum Bruguière, 1789 was identified at four sites (two in the French Mediterranean and two in southern Spain). Two different larval
types were found in the French sites, but poecilogony could not be demonstrated. Individuals collected from harbours were
not genetically distinct from open-sea populations of classic C. vulgatum. However, a population in the Embiez lagoon (French Mediterranean) which morphologically resembles C. vulgatum did display distinct genetic traits, supporting its status as a separate species. Of the small Cerithium species usually known as C. rupestre, two sympatric species (C.“rupestre” Risso, 1826 and C. lividulum Risso, 1826) were distinguished. Genotype frequencies within the analysed populations revealed much heterozygote deficiency.
F
ST
values (fixation index measuring the effects of population subdivision) suggest a higher genetic differentiation for C. lividulum populations than for C. vulgatum populations. We assume that a high larval dispersal capability (via planktotrophy) allows a high gene flow between populations
of C. vulgatum.

Genetic structure of the flounders Platichthys flesus and P. stellatus at different geographic scales 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The genetic structure of the flounders Platichthys flesus L. and P. stellatus Pallas was investigated on different spatial scales through analysis of allozyme variation at 7 to 24 polymorphic loci in
samples collected from different regions (Baltic Sea, North Sea, Brittany, Portugal, western Mediterranean, Adriatic Sea,
Aegean Sea and Japan) in 1984 to 1987. No geographic variation was evident within a region. Some pattern of differentiation
by distance was inferred within the Atlantic, while the Mediterranean comprised three geographically isolated populations
and was itself geographically isolated from the Atlantic (fixed allele differences at up to three loci were found among P. flesus populations from the Atlantic, the western Mediterranean, the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and also P. stellatus from the coast of Japan). Sea temperature during the reproductive period probably acts as a barrier to gene flow between
populations. Genetic distances among European flounder populations (P. flesus) were higher than, or of the same magnitude as, the genetic distance between Pacific (P. stellatus) and European flounder populations, suggesting that P. flesus is paraphyletic and/or there is no phylogenetic basis to recognising P. stellatus as a different species. The divergence between P. flesus and P. stellatus was thus inferred to be more recent than the divergence between the present P. flesus populations from the NE Atlantic and eastern Mediterranean. The eastern Mediterranean populations are thought to originate
from the colonisation of the Mediterranean by a proto-P. flesus/P. stellatus ancestor, whereas the present western Mediterranean population has undergone a more recent colonisation event by P. flesus. Patterns of mitochondrial DNA variation, established on a smaller array of P. flesus samples, were in accordance with the geographic patterns inferred from the allozyme survey. In addition, they supported the
hypothesis of a two-step colonisation of the western Mediterranean. These results contribute to our understanding of the biogeography
of the Mediterranean marine fauna, especially the group of boreal remnants to which P. flesus belongs.

Zooplankton samples from the North Arabian Sea Environment and Ecosystem Research (NASEER) cruises were analyzed to determine
the basic taxonomic composition, biomass (standing stock) and the total and copepod numeric abundance; these characteristics
are discussed with reference to the different monsoon periods. Cruises carried out during March 1993 and May 1994, categorized
as pre-southwest monsoon periods, and a cruise in December 1994, categorized as a northeast monsoon period, are discussed
in detail. The biomass of January 1992 versus August 1992 and August 1992 versus March 1993 differed significantly (F = 6.44, P≤ 0.05). Ranges of highest and lowest biomass from each cruise are also given. Distinct “high” and “low” production areas
of statistically significant difference (F = 12.67, P≤ 0.05) were observed. The “high” and “low” production areas were mobile and followed the surface wind circulation patterns
(wind reversal pattern) during the northeast and southwest monsoon periods. Overall zooplankton showed a patchy distribution.
The overall zooplankton abundance and total copepod counts differed significantly between the Cruises 3 versus 4 and 4 versus
5 (F = 15.67, P≤ 0.05 and F = 34.39, P≤ 0.05, respectively). There was no significant difference (P≥ 0.05) in biomass, between eutrophic and oligotrophic stations, suggesting no difference between near shore and offshore
waters. Thirty-eight taxonomic groups were identified from the samples, with copepods being the most dominant group, followed
by chaetognaths and siphonophores. Copepods constitute an average of 52.50 to 74.93% of the total zooplankton count and reach
maxima of 92.14% of the total zooplankton count at the outset of the southwest monsoon (March 1993) and 91.39% at the outset
of the active northeast monsoon (December 1994).

The isopod Munnopsurus atlanticus occupies bathyal depths in both the Bay of Biscay (NE Atlantic; between 383 and 1022 m) and in the Catalan Sea (Northwestern
Mediterranean; between 389 and 1859 m). The species was dominant in both assemblages, reaching bathymetric peaks of abundance
on the upper part of the continental slope (400 m depth) in the Bay of Biscay and at ˜600 m in the Catalan Sea. Both the Atlantic
and the Mediterranean populations are bivoltines. Demographic analysis of the Bay of Biscay population revealed the production
of two generations per year with different potential longevity (5 mo for G1 and 11 mo for G2). The mean cohort-production interval (CPI) was estimated at 8 mo, and results of the demographic analysis were also used
to estimate production for the Catalan Sea populations. Mean annual density (D) and biomass (B) were higher in the Bay of
Biscay (D = 356.7 individuals 100 m−2; B = 0.803 mg dry wt m−2 yr−1) than in the Mediterranean (D = 16.3 individuals 100 m−2; B = 0.078 mg dry wt m−2 yr−1). Also, mean annual production was an order of magnitude higher in the Atlantic (between 4.063 and 4.812 mg dry wt 100 m−2 yr−1 depending on the method used) than in the Catalan Sea (between 0.346 and 0.519 mg dry wt 100 m−2 yr−1). M. atlanticus feeds on a wide variety of benthic and pelagic food sources. In both study areas, phytodetritus was not important in the
diet of M. atlanticus. In contrast, gut-content data suggested an indirect coupling with phytoplankton production in both areas via foraminiferans.
The life history and the recorded production are considered in respect to both the dynamics and levels of primary production
and the total mass flux in the respective study areas. Differences in the secondary production of both populations seemed
to be more consistently explained by differences in total mass flux than by differences in the primary production levels;
this is also consistent with the variety of food sources exploited by M. atlanticus.

Genetic heterogeneity among adult and recruit red sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Allozyme electrophoresis was used to characterize genetic variation within and among natural populations of the red sea urchin
Strongylocentrotus franciscanus. In 1995 to 1996, adult urchins were sampled from twelve geographically separated populations, seven from northern California
and five from southern California (including Santa Rosa Island). Significant population heterogeneity in allelic frequencies
was observed at five of six polymorphic loci. No geographic pattern of differentiation was evident; neighboring populations
were often more genetically differentiated than distant populations. Northern and southern populations were not consistently
distinguishable at any of the six loci. In order to assess within-population genetic variation and patterns of recruitment,
large samples were collected from several northern California populations in 1996 and 1997, and were divided into three size
classes, roughly representing large adults (>60 mm), medium-sized individuals (31 to 60 mm, “subadults”) and individuals <2 yr
of age (≤30 mm test diam, referred to as “recruits”). Comparisons of allelic counts revealed significant spatial and temporal
differentiation among size-stratified population samples. Recruit samples differed significantly from adult samples collected
at the same locale, and showed extensive between-year variation. Genetic differentiation among recruit samples was much higher
in 1997 than in 1996. Between-year differences within populations were always greater for recruits than for adults. Potential
explanations for the differentiation of recruit samples include pre- and post-settlement natural selection and high interfamily
variance in reproductive success or “sweepstakes” recruitment. Unless recruit differentiation can be attributed to an improbable
combination of strong and spatially diverse selection, such differentiation across northern California populations indicates
that the larval pool is not well mixed geographically (even on spatial scales <20 km), despite long planktonic larval duration.

In this study eight different species of barnacles were found within nine species of sponges from the Red Sea. This brings
to 11 the number of sponge-symbiotic barnacles reported from the Red Sea, two of these are new Acasta species (not described herein) and one (A. tzetlini Kolbasov) is a new record for this sea. This number is much higher than that of symbiotic barnacles found within sponges
from either the N. Atlantic (2) or the Mediterranean (4). Two possible explanations for this are the presence of numerous
predators in coral reefs and scarcity of available substrate for settlement. These factors can lead to high incidence of symbiotic
relationships. Of the nine sponge species, only one (Suberites cf. clavatus) had previously been known to contain barnacles. Even at the family level, this is the first record of symbiotic barnacles
in two out of the seven sponge families (Latrunculiidae, Theonellidae). Our present findings strengthen the apparent rule
that the wider the openings in a barnacle shell, the fewer the host taxa with which it will associate, usually from one or
two closely related families, and the more frequent it will associate with elastic sponges. Most Neoacasta laevigata found on Carteriospongia foliascens were located on the same side as the sponge's ostia, i.e. facing the incoming water. This adaptation allows the barnacles
to catch more suspended particles from the water, provides them with more oxygen and prevents their exposure to discharged
sponge waste. The highest density of barnacles observed on one face of a “leaf ” (with ostia) was 0.389 barnacles cm−2 (one barnacle per 2.57 cm2) and on average 0.181 ± 0.68, while the average on the other side was only 0.068 ± 0.52 barnacles cm−2. As indicated by the Morisita index, these barnacles most frequently (58%, n = 12) had a clumped spatial distribution (while the rest were randomly distributed), as is to be expected from such sessile
organisms with internal fertilization via copulation. The presence of N. laevigata induced the growth of secondary perpendicular projections of its host C. foliascens. Of the N. laevigata examined, 17% brooded 324 ± 41 embryos each, of 286 ± 17 μm total length; only 5.7% (n = 123) were found to be dead. Size distribution analysis of skeletal elements from dead barnacles showed them to be significantly
larger than the skeletal elements of the population of live barnacles ( p < 0.05).

The morphology and partial cytology of a group of bacteria-related organisms from the guts of surgeonfish are described.
These gigantobacteria symbionts are encountered in the guts of various species of this fish family throughout the Indo-Pacific
region and the Red Sea. They have been tentatively grouped and placed in a “family”, Epulopiscidae, according to the first
species described, Epulopiscium fishelsoni Montgomery and Pollak, 1988. In addition to a morphological comparison between the various forms from different species of
surgeonfish, suggestions are presented with regard to their possible morphological diversification during evolutionary and
host-species specificity.

Allozyme variation in global populations of striped mullet, Mugil cephalus (Pisces: Mugilidae) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The striped mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, is one of the few species of marine shore fish with a worldwide circumtropical distribution. Because of this
distribution and the dependency of M. cephalus on coastal waters during various phases of its life cycle, as well as nearshore living habits, questions have been raised
regarding levels of genetic divergence and gene flow among transoceanic populations. To cast more light on this, allozyme
variation at 27 presumptive gene loci was investigated in ten globally diverse populations. The observed heterozygosity ranged
from 0.018 (Hawaii) to 0.081 (Florida), averaging 0.050. The proportion of polymorphic loci showed a similar trend. Several
populations were characterised by fixed allelic differences. Estimated gene diversities were very high, the allele frequency
variation among populations was found to be 68%; genetic distances reached 0.242, with an average of 0.117. Estimated rates
of gene flow were high among Mediterranean populations (Nm = 7.26), and between Mediterranean and East Atlantic populations (Nm= 2.86), but extremely low between non-contiguous populations within the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, where Nm ranged from 0.03 to 0.05.

The Kumamoto oyster Crassostrea sikamea is distinguished from the closely related Pacific oyster C. gigas by concordant differences in 16S rDNA, allozymes, and a one-way gametic incompatibility. After repeated failures to find
this oyster in its native habitat, we speculated in 1994 that “the Kumamoto oyster may be extinct in Japan”. In September
1996, we sampled small, deep-cupped oysters from the Ariake Sea and typed these for 16S rDNA and ITS-1 DNA markers previously
shown to be diagnostic for the three most common oysters in the Ariake Sea, C. gigas, C. sikamea and C. ariakensis. Our earlier suggestion of the demise of C. sikamea proved incorrect. Of the 256 oysters sampled, 181 (71%) were C. gigas, 53 (21%) were C. sikamea, and 22 (9%) were C. ariakensis; no interspecific hybrids were observed. The distributions of C. sikamea and C. ariakensis are clumped in the Ariake Sea: C. sikamea occurs on the eastern and northern shores, C. ariakensis occurs only in the northern part. These results emphasize the value of molecular markers for discriminating these morphologically
plastic species both in the field and in aquaculture.

The genetic structure of Patagonian toothfish populations in the Atlantic and western Indian Ocean Sectors of the Southern Ocean (SO) were analysed using partial sequences of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and seven microsatellite loci. Both haplotype frequency data (F
ST>0.906, P<0.01) and microsatellite genotype frequency data (F
ST=0.0141–0.0338, P<0.05) indicated that populations of toothfish from around the Falkland Islands were genetically distinct from those at South Georgia (eastern Atlantic Sector SO), around Bouvet Island (western Atlantic Sector SO) and the Ob Seamount (western Indian Ocean Sector of the SO). Genetic differentiation between these populations is thought to result from hydrographic isolation, as the sites are separated by two, full-depth, ocean-fronts and topographic isolation, as samples are separated by deep water. The South Georgia, Bouvet and Ob Seamount samples were characterised by an identical haplotype. However, microsatellite genotype frequencies showed genetic differentiation between South Georgia samples and those obtained from around Bouvet Island and nearby seamounts (F
ST=0.0037, P<0.05). These areas are separated by large geographic distance and water in excess of 3,000 m deep, below the distributional range of toothfish (<2,200 m). No significant genetic differentiation was detected between samples around Bouvet Island and the Ob Seamount although comparisons may have been influenced by low sample size. These localities are linked by topographic features, including both ridges and seamounts, that may act as oceanic “stepping stones” for migration between these populations. As for other species of deep-sea fish, Patagonian toothfish populations are genetically structured at the regional and sub-regional scales. 相似文献

Genetic differentiation among populations of a broadcast spawning soft coral, Sinularia flexibilis, on the Great Barrier Reef 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The genetic structure of 12 reef populations of the soft coral Sinularia flexibilis (Octocorallia, Alcyoniidae) was studied along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) at a maximum separation of 1,300 km to investigate
the relative importance of sexual and asexual reproduction, genetic differentiation and gene flow among these populations.
S. flexibilis is a widely distributed Indo-Pacific species and a gamete broadcaster that can form large aggregations of colonies on near-shore
reefs of the GBR. Up to 60 individuals per reef were collected at a minimum sampling scale of 5 m at two sites per reef, from
December 1998 to February 2000. Electrophoretic analyses of nine polymorphic allozymes indicated that genotypic frequencies
in most populations and loci did not differ significantly from those expected from Hardy–Weinberg predictions. Analysis of
multi-locus genotypes indicated a high number of unique genotypes (N
go) relative to the number of individuals sampled (N) in each reef population (range of 0.69–0.95). The maximum number of individuals likely to have been produced sexually (N*) was similar to the number of individuals sampled (i.e. N*:N ˜ 1), suggesting that even repeated genotypes may have been produced sexually. These results demonstrated a dominant role
of sexual reproduction in these populations at the scale sampled. Significant genetic differentiation between some populations
indicated that gene flow is restricted between some reefs (F
ST=0.026, 95% CI= 0.011 − 0.045) and even between sites within reefs (F
ST=0.041, 95% CI=0.027 − 0.055). Nevertheless, there was no relationship between geographic separation and genetic differentiation.
Analyses comparing groups of populations showed no significant differentiation on a north-south gradient in the GBR. The pattern
in the number of significant differences in gene frequencies in pairwise population comparisons, however, suggested that gene
flow may be more restricted among inner-shelf reef populations near to the coast than among mid/outer-shelf populations further
from the coast.

Sequence variation in the mitochondrial control region was studied in the Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis), a species with pronounced pelagic larval phase inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent coastal eastern Atlantic
Ocean. A total of 309 specimens from 19 sampling sites were analysed with the aim of elucidating patterns of molecular variation
between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean as well as within the Mediterranean Sea. Phylogeographic analyses revealed a pronounced
structuring into a Mediterranean and an Atlantic group. Samples from a site at the Moroccan Mediterranean coast in the Alboran
Sea showed intermediate frequencies of “Mediterranean” and “Atlantic” haplotypes. We recognised a departure from molecular
neutrality and a star-like genealogy for samples from the Mediterranean Sea, which we propose to have happened due to a recent
demographic expansion. The results are discussed in the light of previous studies on molecular variation in fish species between
the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and within the Mediterranean. 相似文献

The osmoregulatory abilities of one freshwater and two brackish water (Baltic Sea) populations of the euryhaline teleost
fish Gasterosteus aculeatus were studied with respect to evolutionary physiology. Plasma osmolality, activities of Na+K+-ATPase, citrate synthase, creatine kinase in the gill and free amino acids in liver, axial muscle and pectoral fin muscle
were measured. After transfer from 10 to 35 ppt at 15 °C, time-course changes of plasma osmolality and gill Na+K+-ATPase showed no significant fundamental differences between the freshwater and one of the Baltic Sea populations. In a multi-factorial
experiment, each population was exposed to four different abiotic regimes. Both brackish water populations had high mortality
in freshwater at 4 °C, which is discussed as a failure of osmotic regulation (reduced taurine concentrations). Freshwater
specimens had higher levels of glycine in the axial and pectoral fin muscles compared to the brackish water populations. This
is interpreted as a genetically based effect. In brackish (20 ppt) water of 15 °C, the freshwater population had high activities
of Na+K+-ATPase, but low activities of creatine kinase, whereas both brackish water populations behaved in the opposite way. A fundamental
difference between the freshwater and brackish water populations on the level of the osmoregulatory machinery was not observed.

Spatial and temporal population genetic structures of the common sole, Solea solea, were studied in Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea populations, using three polymorphic exon-primed intron-crossing
(EPIC) markers. Results demonstrated significant multilocus differentiation among Eastern Mediterranean and a group composed
by Western Mediterranean and Atlantic populations (θ = 0.150, P < 0.001), but also suggested unrecorded genetic differentiation of the Adriatic Sea population. No pattern of isolation-by-distance
was recorded across the range covered by sampling, from the Kattegat to the Aegean Sea. Conversely to genetically structured
Mediterranean populations, Atlantic populations ranging from Denmark to Portugal could be considered as representative of
the same panmictic unit (θ = 0.009, not significant). Results further demonstrated stability of multilocus genetic structure among temporarily replicated
cohort samples [0+, 1+, subadults] from several coastal and estuarine locations from Bay of Biscay, excepted for the amylase
locus Am2B3-2 at one location (Pertuis d’Antioche). Despite coherence of such observed patterns of multilocus differentiation with previous
allozymic surveys in sole, and with patterns generally obtained for other marine fish species, single-locus results from EPICs
indicated divergent coalescence schemes supporting a complex response to ecology and history of sole’s populations. Results
stress the use of nuclear genes such as EPIC markers to investigate population structure, but also historical, demographic,
and possibly selective processes in marine fishes. 相似文献

The morphology and ultrastructure of the otolith settlement-mark was examined in 44 tropical reef-fish species spanning nine
families. A classification scheme based on similar otolith characteristics is presented. Three major categories are identified
based on changes in increment width and optical qualities of the settlement-mark. Of the 44 species examined, 39 possessed
“abrupt” settlement-marks (Type I) characterised by a rapid decrease in increment width (up to 50% reduction) over settlement.
Type I settlement-marks were found in all nine families examined. The 39 species spanned the whole range of possible larval
durations (Pomacentrus moluccensis, 15 d ± 0 SE; Naso hexacanthus, 91.2 d ± 2.97 SE). Four of the 44 species possessed “zonal” settlement-marks (Type II), featuring a band of increments that
are wider than pre-settlement increments. Species in this category are the labrids Corisaygula, Thalassoma bifasciatum, T. lunare and an unidentified acanthurid (Acanthurus sp. 2). One species of acanthurid (N. brevirostris) possessed a “gradual” settlement-mark (Type III), manifest as a gradual decrease in increment width during the settlement
period. A possible fourth type was identified from the literature. Gnatholepis thompsoni and Coryphopterus glaucofraenum possessed a settlement-mark with increment widths that increased post-settlement. Available data suggest a poor relationship
between the structure of the settlement-mark and the magnitude of metamorphosis (previously reported as internal and external
morphological change). Evidence suggests that the increment profile over early development and the increment transitions associated
with the settlement event are taxon-specific and may enable late-larval stage fishes to be identified to species level.

Northern and Spotted Wolffishes (Anarhichas denticulatus and A. minor) are demersal marine fishes listed as “threatened” in Canadian waters. Both species have unusually large benthic eggs and
large size at hatch, which should reduce passive dispersal. We examined population differentiation with microsatellite and
AFLP loci across the ranges of both species in the North Atlantic Ocean. Although significant population structure was documented,
differentiation was less than expected based on knowledge of life history characteristics. Significant differentiation was
found in Northern Wolffish between the Barents Sea and other samples based on both microsatellite and AFLP data. In contrast,
population structure in the Spotted Wolffish was notably weaker, particularly with microsatellites. Both species were characterized
by low genetic diversity for marine fishes and had significantly lower genetic diversity than the congeneric Atlantic Wolffish.
This finding was consistent with the conservation status of these three species and suggests potential vulnerability to over-exploitation
in Northern and Spotted Wolffishes. 相似文献
