“…In addition to the hypotheses based on morphology, several molecular hypotheses have been proposed, but most of them have focused on the inter‐relationships within the genus Nemipterus (Menezes et al . ; Dong et al . ; Liang et al .…”

“…For phylogenetic relationships at the intrageneric level, Menezes et al . () used allozyme data from 11 protein‐coding genes to examine genetic variation in four Nemipterus species sampled in India and found genetic heterogeneity in N. japonicus , suggesting that a biological or geographical barrier separates, or perhaps historically separated this species in the Arabian Sea (west coast) from those in the Bay of Bengal (east coast).

Threadfin breams and relatives of the family Nemipteridae comprise 69 currently recognized species in five genera. They are found in the tropical and subtropical Indo‐West Pacific and most are commercially important. Using recently developed molecule‐based approaches exploiting DNA sequence variation among species/specimens, this study reconstructed a comprehensive phylogeny of the Nemipteridae, examined the validity of species and explored the cryptic diversity of the family, and tested previous phylogenetic hypotheses. A combined data set (105 taxa from 41 morphospecies) with newly determined sequences from two nuclear genes (RAG1 and RH) and one mitochondrial gene (COI), and a data set with only COI gene sequences (329 newly obtained plus 328 from public databases from a total of 53 morphospecies) were used in the phylogenetic analysis. The latter was further used for species delimitation analyses with two different tools to explore species diversity. Our phylogenetic results showed that all the currently recognized genera were monophyletic. The monotypic genus Scaevius is the sister group of Pentapodus and they together are sister to Nemipterus. These three genera combined to form the sister group of the clade comprising Parascolopsis and Scolopsis. The validity of most of the examined species was confirmed except in some cases. The combined evidence from the results of different analyses revealed a gap in our existing knowledge of species diversity in the Nemipteridae. We found several currently recognized species contain multiple separately evolving metapopulation lineages within species; some lineages should be considered as new species for further assignment. Finally, some problematic sequences deposited in public databases (probably due to misidentification) were also revised in this study to improve the accuracy for prospective DNA barcoding work on nemipterid fishes.

Recent years have witnessed a rise in sensitivity towards protection of natural genetic resources and the environment at the international level. This is evident from the implementation of the convention on biodiversity (CBD). To conserve and optimize utilization of its bioresources, India enacted the Biological Diversity Act 2002. The conservation and management of aquatic resources is important for sustainable utilization of fisheries potential for the economic advancement of farmers and fishery workers, today as well as for posterity. As the biotechnological and genomic revolutions are ready to take off, the sovereign rights of native inhabitants to intellectual property rights (IPR) related to aquatic genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge are also integral components of management strategies for genetic resources.
