Characterization of the genetic diversity of the fish Brycon henni (Characiformes: Characidae) in central Colombia with RAPD markers. Knowledge on the genetic diversity of wild fish species is essential for conservation and appropriate management of individuals in repopulation programs. In Colombia, Brycon henni has been reported in the Magdalena and Cauca river basins, but the population and range have diminished as a consequence of anthropic activities. In this study, the Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to estimate the actual genetic structure in this species. For the purpose, six sample sites located in the department of Antioquia (Central Chain Mountains of Colombia) were used. Thirty five primers (87.5 %), out of forty used, yielded 1 466 reliable and consistent fragments; 417 were considered as unique fragments able to discriminate among the Magdalena (Humarada-1 and Humarada-2) and Cauca (Piedras, La Clara y Guaracú) river basins samples, suggesting that each is a discrete unit. This diversity suggests that anthropic effects of over fishing, dam building, deforestation and water pollution, have contributed to the isolation of these fish groups on the high mountains. Brycon moorei and Colossoma macropomum, as an interspecific control groups, were placed out of the B. henni general group, confirming their taxonomic classification through morphologic data. The RAPD technique was useful to know the genetic diversity and to discriminate among B. henni populations from different geographic origins, as a basis for an appropriate plan of repopulation, conservation and wildlife management.
El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la criopreservación de semen de Brycon henni, mediante tres curvas de congelación programable y con el empleo de dos crioprotectores permeables. El semen de 30 machos se diluyó en un medio suplementado con etilenglicol (EG) o dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) y se crioconservó en pajillas de semen, utilizando tres curvas de congelación programable: lenta (66 min, -0.42 ºC/min), media (43.3 min, -0.6 ºC/min) y ultra-rápida (7.7 min, -5.19 ºC/min). Después de un mes de almacenamiento, el semen fue descongelado y se evaluó la movilidad, mediante el sistema de análisis de clase (SCA®) y la vitalidad espermática (VE) mediante microscopía de fluorescencia con las sondas SYBR14/IP. Para el análisis estadístico se ajustaron modelos lineales generalizados (GLM) y las medias se compararon por la prueba de Tukey. Las curvas de velocidad media y ultra-rápida presentaron valores superiores y equivalentes para la movilidad total, la movilidad progresiva y la velocidad lineal de los espermatozoides (p<0.05). La vitalidad espermática fue superior empleando la curva de velocidad media (52.4 ± 8.6%) en relación a las curvas ultra-rápida (43.0 ± 19.4%) y lenta (29.0 ± 11.8%) (p<0.05). El EG presentó una mejor vitalidad espermática (p<0.05). Se concluye que la congelación de semen de sabaleta (B. henni) usando una curva de congelación programable de velocidad media y etilenglicol como crioprotector permite resultados superiores de calidad seminal posdescongelación
