“…At the same time, there is direct evidence of introduction of this species to Solovetsky Archipelago (Grimm, 1886). Low genetic diversity of vendace is evidence of the recent appearance of the Solovetsky population of this species (Borovikova et al, 2013).…”

The Solovetsky Islands are located in the central part of the White Sea (Arctic Ocean). The species composition and distribution patterns of freshwater ichthyofauna were studied in various watersheds of the two biggest islands of the Solovetsky Archipelago, Bolshoi Solovetsky and Anser, affected differently by eco nomic activities. The research was performed in 1989-2012; in total, 40 lakes were studied. Two main groups of species were defined in regard to the original and historical data, aboriginal and introduced. Aboriginal species include rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), perch (Perca fluviatilis), pike (Esox lucius), roach (Rutilus rutilus), burbot (Lota lota), crucian carp (Carassius carassius), sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Pungitius pungitius), and ruff (Gymnocephalus cernuus). Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus), brown trout (Salmo trutta), ven dace (Coregonus albula), tench (Tinca tinca), and goldfish (Carassius auratus) are the introduced species. The origin of whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) and ide (Leuciscus idus) remains unknown. The current distribution of all studied species is patchy and varies significantly between the lakes, and the origin of particular species should be found individually for each lake.

“…In many studies of the variability of Coregoninae, phylogenetic trees were built on the basis of single mtDNA fragments, such as D-loop (BRZU- ZAN & CIESIELSKI 2002;BRZUZAN et al 2004), as well as cytochrome b (SUKHANOVA et al 2002) and ND1 (NIELSEN et al 1998;BOROVIKOVA & MAKHROV 2009;BOROVIKOVA et al 2013) genes. However, it has been shown that multilocus comparisons increase phylogenetic resolution and hence the possibility to detect e.g.…”

Genetic variation in the ND1 gene and D-loop in protected and commercially exploited European cisco (Coregonus albula L.) populations. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 64: 225-233. The European cisco (Coregonus albula L.) is a species with high environmental requirements. The deterioration of environmental conditions in recent decades has decreased its distribution. Currently the species is conserved by stocking, and the few existing natural populations are at risk of extinction. Therefore, contemporary studies involve not only reporting phenotypic parameters, but also determining the genetic structure of the population. This is an important aspect monitored in the C. albula population, which provides information valuable for proper fishing economy. This study included valuable populations from lakes located in Drawa National Park (DNP) and Wigry National Park (WNP), as well as lakes used for commercial fishing. In order to molecularly characterize the European cisco, the control region and ND1 gene were sequenced from 48 individuals from 9 populations from lakes throughout northern Poland. Analysis revealed that populations from two park lakes (Marta, Ostrowieckie) are unique. This was also the case for some sequences originating from Lake Wigry. The mean value of genetic diversity was 0.2% within each region and 0.1-0.3% between the investigated regions. The obtained results demonstrated the necessity to strengthen and protect natural populations of the European cisco, which constitute a valuable element of the European ichthyofauna.

“…Some of the haplotypes were rare and occurred only at single sites (e.g., haplotype 3 obtained with RsaI), in a commercially exploited lake. In the literature worldwide, there have been reports of the use of the ND1, e.g., for the assessment of the degree of hybridization between coregonid species with highly variable morphological characteristics [41]. Based on the molecular-genetic analysis of the mitochondrial ND1 fragment of C. albula and C. peled, the authors demonstrated that these species are very closely related.…”

Genetic structure of the cisco (Coregonus albula L.) from lakes of glacial origin in northern Poland

et al. 2015

European cisco (Coregonus albula L.) is one of the most precious species of the European lake ichtyofauna, however, due to progressive eutrophication of water, the range of its occurrence has decreased. Deteriorating ecological conditions are the main cause of this decline in population, and most of the existing populations in lakes are maintained thanks to reintroduction. Thus, it is important to determine the genetic structure of the European cisco. The study involved PCR-RFLP-based genetic analysis of C. albula caught in 15 lakes in northern Poland, including four lakes located in national parks. The analysis covered 3 genes located in the mitochondrial DNA: ND1, ND3/4 and cytochrome b, as well as a control region (D-loop). The PCR product was digested with 4 endonucleases (RsaI, MspI, BsuI and HhaI) and the resulting haplotypes were grouped into combinations. Statistical analysis were then performed on these groups. Based on the genetic distance, a phenogram was constructed in which two groups could be distinguished. One group was represented by C. albula populations from most lakes in north-western Poland, including the three protected lakes. The other group consisted of the European cisco population from Lake Wigry (north-eastern Poland) and commercially exploited lakes from the southern part of the investigated north-western Poland area. The results of the study of C. albula from northern Poland present a valuable molecular characterization of the populations and can be a starting point for further genetic monitoring.
