“…With a higher number of acrocentric chromosomes than C. lugubris (NF = 54), C. bartholomaei and C. latus possess higher numbers of basal chromosomal characteristics. In fact, the presence of a single pair of 2-armed chromosomes in the karyotypes of 3 other species of Caranx (Chai et al, 2009) indicates that this is typical. The occurrence of this unique and conserved 2-armed pair among species supports the hypothesis that C. lugubris, with higher numbers of 2-arm chromosomes (22a and 4m), presents a more derived pattern than typically observed.…”

In some genera, such as Trachinotus (NF = 52-58) and Trachurus (NF = 50-66), pericentric inversions have played an important role in the karyotype diversification (Murofushi and Yoshida, 1979;Caputo et al, 1996;Rodrigues et al, 2007, Jacobina et al, 2012aAccioly et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. In Carangidae, Caranx is taxonomically controversial because of slight morphological differences among species, as well as because of its relationship with the genus Carangoides. Cytogenetic data has contributed to taxonomic and phylogenetic classification for some groups of fish. In this study, we examined the chromosomes of Caranx latus, Caranx lugubris, and Carangoides bartholomaei using classical methods, including conventional staining, C-banding, silver staining for nuclear organizer regions, base-specific fluorochrome, and 18S and 5S ribosomal sequence mapping using in situ hybridization. These 3 species showed chromosome numbers of 2n = 48, simple nuclear organizer regions (pair 1), and mainly centromeric heterochomatin. However, C. latus (NF = 50) and C. bartholomaei (NF = 50) showed a structurally conserved karyotype compared with C. lugubris (NF = 54), with a larger number of 2-armed chromosomes. The richness of GC-positive heterochromatic segments and sites in 5S rDNA in specific locations compared to the other 2 species reinforce 9629 ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (4): 9628-9635 (2014) rDNA genes in the chromosomes of Caranx and Carangoides spp the higher evolutionary dynamism in C. lugubris. Cytogenetic aspects shared between C. latus and C. bartholomaei confirm the remarkable phylogenetic proximity between these genera.

“…These studies are also an important step towards the establishment of genetic improvement techniques involved in chromosome manipulation techniques, including inter-or intra-species hybridizations, sex control, gynogenesis, androgenesis and induction of polyploidy (Wu et al 1986, Diter et al 1993. These genetic techniques have been widely applied to improve farmed stocks in many aquaculture species in the world (Arai 2001, Beardmore et al 2001, Dunham 2007, Chai et al 2009). …”

A New Natural Autotetraploid and Chromosomal Characteristics of Dwarf Snakehead Fish, <i>Channa gachua</i> (Perciformes, Channidae) in Thailand

et al. 2014

Summary A new natural autotetraploid and the chromosomal characteristics of the dwarf snakehead fish (Channa gachua) from Kalasin, Nong Khai, Nong Bua Lam Phu and Udon Thani Provinces (four populations) in northeast Thailand were studied. Kidney cell samples were taken from 12 male and 12 female fish. Mitotic chromosome preparations were conducted using a blood cell culture technique as well as taken directly from kidney cells. Conventional and Ag-NOR staining techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results showed that the autotetraploid chromosome number of C. gachua was 4n = 104, and the fundamental number (NF) was 112 in both sexes. The types of chromosomes were 4 large submetacentric, 2 large acrocentric, 16 large telocentric, 2 medium submetacentric, 68 medium telocentric and 12 small telocentric chromosomes. No strange-sized chromosomes related to sex were observed. The region adjacent to the centromere of chromosome pair 3 showed clearly observable secondary constriction (NORs). The karyotype formula for C. gachua is as follows:4n (

“…Of these, 30 % have karyotypes formed exclusively by acrocentric chromosomes (Chai et al 2009), representing a basal characteristic for Perciformes. As such, numerical and structural alterations in this pattern are indicative of more derived karyotypes (Molina 2007), as in S.setapinnis and S. vomer.…”

Atlantic moonfishes: independent pathways of karyotypic and morphological differentiation

et al. 2012

Fish of the genus Selene, known as lookdowns or moonfish, are one of the most morphologically derived groups of the family Carangidae, whose phylogenetic relationships are still largely unknown. In this study, we discuss karyoevolutionary aspects of three representatives of this genus from the Western Atlantic: Selene brownii (2n = 48; FN = 48), Selene setapinnis (2n = 46; FN = 48), and Selene vomer (2n = 48; FN = 50). Their body patterns were also investigated and compared to one another and in relation to two other species of different genera. Two mechanisms of karyotypic evolution seem to have acted in the diversification of this genus, namely pericentric inversions and centric fusions. Mapping of rDNA sequences showed that chromosome pairs bearing 5S rDNA sites are similar, whereas those bearing 18 rDNA sites are morphologically distinct while apparently also exhibiting interspecies synteny. Although the nucleolar organizer-bearing chromosomes are extremely efficient cytotaxonomic markers among Selene species, others cytogenetic patterns of these species are relatively conserved. Hybridization with telomeric probes (TTAGGG) n did not exhibit interstitial telomeric sites (ITS), especially in S. setapinnis, where, along with a reduction in diploid number, a large metacentric pair derived from centric fusion is present. Data obtained by geometric morphometrics enable a clear morphological distinction among the three species, as well as in relation to two other species of the genus Caranx and Oligoplites. Data obtained suggest that morphologic evolution in Selene species was primarily dissociated from visible changes that occurred at the chromosomal level.
