Abstract

Nemacheilus pfeifferae is one of the native species from Sumatra Island. The previous morphological study on Nemacheilus pfeifferae from several locations on the two sides of the Bukit Barisan Mountain Range, West Sumatra, showed a significant differentiation. The Bukit Barisan Mountain Range is considered to contribute to that differentiation. This hypothesis was tested by identifying the haplotype diversity of N. pfeifferae from the two sides of the Bukit Barisan Mountain Range using the cytochrome b gene from mitochondrial DNA. The samples were collected from seven geographical populations consisting of four rivers flowing west and three rivers flowing east of the Bukit Barisan Mountain range. The tissue samples were DNA extracted, DNA amplified, DNA sequenced, and analyzed using molecular software. Overall, the result showed that N. pfeifferae from West Sumatra has a sequence divergence of 0.6%-5.5%. No haplotypes were shared between populations of N. pfeifferae from West Sumatra. N. pfeifferae in West Sumatra has high haplotype diversity and moderate nucleotide diversity. The sequence divergences of N. pfeifferae within the western populations are higher than in the eastern populations. Nemacheilus pfeifferae from the western part of Bukit Barisan has high sequence divergences (2.9%-4.8%) with the eastern part of Bukit Barisan. The phylogenetic tree shows the separation of N. pfeifferae populations on the two sides of the Bukit Barisan Mountain Range. Nemacheilus in Asia forms a polyphyletic group supported by a high bootstrap value. The Bukit Barisan Mountain Range has played a significant role in the presence of genetic variation

Abstract

The biodiversity of freshwater fish is important to study because there is data and information that remain undiscovered. The waters of Sumatra, especially West Sumatra, are areas with high freshwater fish diversity but have limited information. Providing information and genetic data has become one of the important things to conduct. DNA barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding have become molecular methods for identifying species and providing information about the presence of species in a region. A study using DNA barcoding and eDNA metabarcoding was conducted on freshwater fish in several locations in West Sumatra. Isolation and amplification of DNA were performed directly on individual samples and sequenced using conventional methods (Sanger sequencing) to generate DNA barcodes. Water samples were collected (2 liters) at each location using a sterile bottle. The water samples were filtrated, isolated, and amplified using universal primer and sequenced with next-generation sequencing techniques. The study successfully collected 25 species belonging to 14 genera, 2 families, and 1 order. A total of 134 sequences from West Sumatra with a length of 648-670 bp were analyzed. All DNA barcodes were submitted to the BOLD System and GenBank, NCBI. The mean Kimura two-parameter model (K2P) genetic distances within species, genera, families, and orders were 0.7%, 8.3%, 15.8%, and 21.3%, respectively. The eDNA metabarcoding technique has successfully detected three native fish species in the waters of West Sumatra (Barbonymus schwanefeldii, Mystacoleucus padangensis, and Rasbora jacobsoni). The availability of fish DNA barcodes in reference databases is crucial for the success of identification using eDNA metabarcoding. Combining identification using conventional methods and eDNA metabarcoding can provide more reliable results and become a reference for future freshwater monitoring.
