Abstract

The study analyzed nucleotide sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit (COI) gene region (654) to investigate the genetic structure of the white cyprinid (Tor tambroides) among nine populations from the Manna and Semanka Rivers. A total of 36 individuals were collected for this work. Five nucleotides were found to be variable, resulting in 4 haplotypes. Among the nine populations of Melebuy in Semanka River represents the highest level of variability (h = 1.000, π = 0.0015) whereas Kerinjing, Merabung and Kotabumi populations represent the highest level of variability in Manna River (h = 0.667, π = 0.0020). The Batu Aji, Air Sebilo and Kutopadang populations exhibit the lowest level of variability (h = 0.000, π = 0.000). There is an integrated population throughout all sample sites in Manna River. However, the AMOVA analysis provided corroborating evidence for genetic structure obtained from Nei’s genetic diversity statistic and the FST value (0.310), suggested there is genetic divergence among populations of those populations. Of the total genetic diversity, 35% was attributable to inter-population diversity and the remainder (68.92%) to differences within populations. These two approaches produced a picture of genetic structure in Manna and Semanka River. A molecular phylogenetic tree constructed using The Neighbor-joining (NJ) method showed the 4 haplotypes were assigned to two clades associated geographic regions. These results provide basic information for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of this species.

Abstract

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is often used as an indicator of perturbed development. As organisms placed under greater stress, less energy is available to buffer their development compared to unstressed individuals and increasing levels of asymmetry. Therefore, individual asymmetry scores within a population can be used as a measure of an organism’s ability to buffer its development and can be considered as an indirect measurement of individual fitness. In this study a test was conducted to know any correlation among FA and four fitness traits in giant featherback (Chitala lopis) inhabiting non acidified and acidified region along the Kampar River. Three bilateral meristic characters were counted on each side of the fish: number of gill rakers on the lower first branchial arch, eyes diameter, and number of pectoral-fin rays and four traits related to the fitness were measured: egg diameter, size of first maturity, gonad somatic index, and fecundity. Results show that FA (both number and magnitude) levels are differerent, giant featherback inhabiting more acidic station were slightly more asymmetric than those from less acidic one except to those inhabiting alkali station. However, the reproductive investment of giant featherback in the five sampling stations studied here gave no indication that the populations strongly affected by acidification. In this study it did not find any significant negative correlation between FA and any of the measured fitness traits. Therefore it can be concluded that FA is not a useful measure of fitness in this species.
