“…Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences have been extensively used as genetic markers for studying the taxonomy, systematics, and population genetics of animals due to their maternal inheritance, fast rate of evolutionary change, lack of recombination, and relatively conserved genome structures (Li et al 2008;Catanese et al 2010). To date, quite a number of complete mt genomes of metazoan species have been deposited in GenBank, mainly for Arthropoda, Mollusca, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, and Chordata (Chen et al 2009).…”

Sequences and gene organization of the mitochondrial genomes of the liver flukes Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis (Trematoda)

Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis are important trematodes infecting humans and animals, belonging to the family Opisthorchiidae. In the present study, we sequenced the nearly complete mitochondrial (mt) DNA (mtDNA) sequences of O. viverrini from Laos, obtained the complete mtDNA sequences of C. sinensis from China and Korea, and revealed their gene annotations and genome organizations. The mtDNA sequences of O. viverrini, C. sinensis (China isolate), C. sinensis (Korea isolate) were 13,510, 13,879, and 13,877 bp in size, respectively. Each of the three mt genomes comprises 36 genes, consisting of 12 genes coding for proteins, two genes for rRNA, and 20 genes (O. viverrini) or 22 genes (C. sinensis) for tRNA. The gene content and arrangement are identical to that of Fasciola hepatica, and Paragonimus westermani, but distinct from Schistosoma spp. All genes are transcribed in the same direction and have a nucleotide composition high in T. The contents of A + T of the mt genomes were 59.39% for O. viverrini, 60.03% for C. sinensis (China isolate), and 59.99% for C. sinensis (Korea isolate). Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated amino acid sequences of the 12 protein-coding genes, with three different computational algorithms [maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analysis], all revealed distinct groups with high statistical support, indicating that O. viverrini and C. sinensis represent sister taxa. These data provide additional novel mtDNA markers for studying the molecular epidemiology and population genetics of the two liver flukes and should have implications for the molecular diagnosis, prevention, and control of opisthorchiasis and clonorchiasis in humans and animals.

“…japonicus/S. australasicus when analysed using complete mitogenome sequences and these values are even lower than that reported within Thunnus species or Auxis species (Catanese et al, 2010). This has been explained as due to introgressive hybridisation after speciation which has also been documented in other Scomber and Thunnus species (Stepien and Rosenblatt, 1996;Alvarado Bremer et al, 2005).…”

“…with observable morphological features has been reported by Collette and Nauen (1983), Scoles et al (1998) and Tzeng (2007). However, recent studies have given distinct species status to some of these populations especially to Atlantic populations as S. colias (Collette, 1999;Catanese et al, 2010) based on significant morphological, meristic and genetic differentiation. In the present study also, we observed substantial morphological, meristic and genetic divergence between the new species from Indian waters and other valid species of Scomber.…”

“…Taxonomy of the genus Scomber Linnaeus, 1758 is complicated with inconsistent genetic and morphological characters as well as poor species descriptions. Though 28 species were described, presently this genus contains only four recognised species viz., Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758 from the north Atlantic, Mediterranean and Black sea, chub mackerel Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782 from Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and adjacent seas, Pacific mackerel Scomber australasicus Cuvier, 1832 from western Pacific and Indian Ocean and Atlantic chub mackerel Scomber colias Gmelin, 1789 from east and west coasts of Atlantic Ocean, overlapping with S. australasicus in the north-western Pacific (Collette and Nauen, 1983;Collette, 1999;Collette, 2003;Catanese et al, 2010;Eschmeyer and Fong, 2015).…”

“…However, the divergence between S. scombrus and the other three species happened much earlier than the divergence between the latter. Many studies have pointed out high morphological and genetic similarities between these three species indicating the possibility of gene flow and introgressive hybridisation after speciation (Scoles et al, 1998;Catanese et al, 2010;Cheng et al, 2011).…”

Scomber indicus, a new species of mackerel (Scombridae: Scombrini) from Eastern Arabian Sea

et al. 2016

Scomber indicus, a new species of mackerel is described based on the specimens collected from the eastern Arabian Sea. The species is differentiated from its nearest congener Scomber australasicus, in having 29-32 gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch, posteriormost part of hypohyal blunt, with presence of a pit between the hypohyal and the ceratohyal and also in having a posteriorly directed haemal spine which is deeply curved in the basal region. Genetic differentiation and divergence between the newly described species and the 4 valid species of the genus Scomber viz., S. scombrus, S. japonicus, S. australasicus and S. colias were compared using cytochrome c oxidase 1 and cytochrome b gene sequences. The new species was found closest to S. colias followed by S. japonicus with Kimura 2 parameter (K2P) values of 1.4 and 1.8% respectively. In the phylogenetic tree, sequences of Scomber indicus sp. nov. formed a distinct well separated clade with significant bootstrap values as compared to the sequences of S. scombrus, S. japonicus, S. australasicus and S. colias indicating their distinctiveness and separate species status.
