“…Phylogenetic analyses based on multilocus data have shown that Stellifer and Ophioscion are not monophyletic, as suggested previously, and thus require a detailed taxonomic review [ 7 , 9 , 10 ]. More recently, Chao et al [ 8 ] recognized Ophioscion as a junior synonym of Stellifer based on morphological analysis, which means that Stelliferinae is currently made up of only five genera ( Stellifer , Bairdiella , Odontoscion , Corvula , and Elattarchus ).…”

Chao et al [ 8 ] also described five new Stellifer species– Stellifer cervigoni , Stellifer collettei , Stellifer musicki , Stellifer macallisteri , and Stellifer menezesi , the latter previously identified as lineage II of Ophioscion punctatissimus Meek and Hildebrand, 1925 by Silva et al [ 10 ]. Additionally, Marceniuk et al [ 11 ] revised the taxonomy of Bairdiella from the western South Atlantic based on both morphology and DNA barcoding and concluded that Bairdiella ronchus Cuvier, 1830 is in fact a species complex that includes B .…”

Stelliferinae is the third most speciose subfamily of Sciaenidae, with 51 recognized species arranged in five genera. Phylogenies derived from both morphological and molecular data support the monophyly of this subfamily, although there is no general consensus on the intergeneric relationships or the species diversity of this group. We used the barcoding region of the cytochrome oxidase C subunit I (COI) gene to verify the delimitation of Stelliferinae species based on the Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescence (GMYC), and Bayesian Poisson Tree Process (bPTP) methods. In general, the results of these different approaches were congruent, delimiting 30–32 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs), most of which coincided with valid species. Specimens of Stellifer menezesi and Stellifer gomezi were attributed to a single species, which disagrees with the most recent review of this genus. The evidence also indicated that Odontoscion xanthops and Corvula macrops belong to a single MOTU. In contrast, evidence also indicates presence of distinct lineages in both Odontoscion dentex and Bairdiella chrysoura. Such results are compatible with the existence of cryptic species, which is supported by the genetic divergence and haplotype genealogy. Therefore, the results of the present study indicate the existence of undescribed diversity in the Stelliferinae, which reinforces the need for an ample taxonomic review of the fish in this subfamily.

“…The phylogeny of the Sciaenidae has been studied using morphological features (mostly relying on otolith and swim bladder morphology), but these have major limitations, that have been discussed at length before (Sasaki 1989), as well as several different single gene-based molecular markers (Lakra et al 2009, Cheng et al 2012. However, due to high species richness and wide distribution of (predominantly) marine species, resolution provided by small molecular markers is likely to be too low for this problem, so taxonomy and phylogeny of this family remain only partially resolved (Barbosa et al 2014, Xu et al 2014, Lo et al 2015, Silva et al 2018. This indicates that a molecular marker with a higher resolution may be needed to resolve the evolutionary history of this speciose family.…”

R. 2020. Structure and evolution of the complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Sciaenidae). Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 50 (1): 23-35.Background. Overfishing and habitat degradation caused a decline of populations of many fish species belonging to the speciose family Sciaenidae. A reliable taxonomic framework is a prerequisite for implementing effective stock management and conservation measures, but phylogeny and taxonomy of the Sciaenidae remain poorly resolved. As traditionally used morphological and single gene-based molecular markers carry a too limited phylogenetic signal for the task, mitochondrial phylogenomics may be a more suitable tool. The freshwater drum, Aplodinotus grunniens Rafinesque, 1819, is one of the few Sciaenidae species that live in freshwater habitats, which makes it an important model for studying the phylogeny and evolution of Sciaenidae. Material and methods. We sequenced and characterized its mitogenome, and reconstructed the phylogeny of Sciaenidae using mitogenomes of 28 species. Results. The architecture of the mitogenome (16487 bp in length) is standard for this family, and three typical elements were identified in the control region: extended termination associated sequences, central conserved region, and conserved sequence block. Poor availability of sciaenid mitogenomes (especially those belonging to different lineages) prevented us from resolving the phylogeny of this family with confidence. Notably, our results indicate that Larimichthys and Collichthys species may belong to a single genus, and we suspect that the mitogenome of Chrysochir aureus (Richardson, 1846) has been misidentified taxonomically, and urge its resequencing. Conclusion. The sequencing of additional mitogenomes belonging to non-represented and poorly represented lineages is needed to facilitate the understanding of phylogeny and taxonomy of Sciaenidae.

“…Moreover, considering that speciation processes might take place without major changes in morphology, the actual number of species might be underestimated when external body features are analysed in isolation (Winker, 2005). Failure of species diagnosis has a particularly negative impact on economically important species in fisheries where distinct morphotypes putatively related to a single species might encompass multiple evolutionary units (Mayden, 1997; Winker, 2005; Da Silva et al ., 2018).…”

DNA barcoding reveals cryptic diversity and peculiar phylogeographic patterns in mojarras (Perciformes: Gerreidae) from the Caribbean and South-western Atlantic

The mojarras (Eucinostomus) are a widespread group of coastal fishes of controversial taxonomy because of similarities in their external morphology. In the present study, we assessed the genetic diversity of species and populations of Eucinostomus using DNA barcodes using a systematic and phylogeographic context. In total, 416 COI sequences of all valid Eucinostomus representatives were analysed based on public databases and collected specimens from the north-eastern coast of Brazil (Western South Atlantic). Several cases of misidentification were detected in the barcode dataset (E. argenteus, E. harengulus, E. gula, E. dowii and E. jonesii) that could account for the taxonomic issues in this genus. In contrast, we identified four molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs), with divergence above 2% in the Western Atlantic, that correspond to cryptic forms within E. argenteus, E. harengulus, E. gula and E. melanopterus. These data suggest that Plio-Pleistocene events (rise of the Panama isthmus, Amazonas outflow and sea-level fluctuations) played a major role in the diversification of mojarras. While subtle morphological differences have been used as proxies to discriminate Eucinostomus species, the genetic data proved to be efficient in differentiating them and revealing potentially undescribed taxa. Therefore, we recommend that further taxonomic studies in mojarras should incorporate DNA-based evidence.
