“…Similar observations were noted for some marine fauna, such as mitten crab, mottled spinefoot, and ice goby in the western Pacific, whose Bayesian skyline plots also indicated that the populations had experienced Pleistocene demographic expansion (Xu et al 2009;Ravago-Gotanco and Juinio-Meñez 2010;Kokita and Nohara 2011). In addition, the TMRCA estimates for all samples of H. oxycephalus indicated that the expansion occurred approximately in the middle Pleistocene period, which is much later than the flathead mullet in this region which occurred in the early Pleistocene period or even in the Pliocene period (Shen et al 2011).…”

Population structure of Hirundichthys oxycephalus in the northwestern Pacific inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene

Background: Hirundichthys oxycephalus is an important flyingfish resource in eastern Taiwan and northwestern Japan. A substantial catch decline in Taiwan has caused serious concerns on stock status of the fish, prompting the government to impose a set of regulations on flyingfish egg fishery since 2008. However, the regulations were set in a precautionary manner, without considering the fundamental understanding of the population genetic structure. This study aims to investigate the population genetic structure of H. oxycephalus in the region based on mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene and to thus provide scientific information for sustainable management of the resource.

“…Alternatively, S. japonicus may have exhibited demographic stability during the last glacial maximum (LGM), approximately 18-23 kyr ago (Cunha et al, 2011), following a drop in sea level and the emergence of more continental rivers. Freshwater habitats on the small island would have restricted population expansion (Xu et al, 2009). Consequently, S. japonicus population expansion may have been limited and reached saturation upon the emergence of continental freshwater habitats, with the population maintaining its demographic stability during LGM.…”

ABSTRACT. The amphidromous goby Sicyopterus japonicus is distributed throughout southern Taiwan and Japan. Larvae of this freshwater fish go through a long marine stage. This migratory mode influences population genetic structure. We examined the genetic diversity, population differentiation, and demographic history of S. japonicus based on the mitochondrial DNA control region. We Population structure and demographics of S. japonicus identified 102 haplotypes from 107 S. japonicus individuals from 22 populations collected from Taiwan and Islet Lanyu. High mean haplotype diversity (h = 0.999) versus low nucleotide diversity (θ π = 0.008) was detected across populations. There was low correspondence between clusters identified in the neighbor-joining tree and geographical region, as also indicated by AMOVA and pairwise F ST estimates. Both mismatch distribution analysis and Tajima's D test indicated that S. japonicus likely experienced a demographic expansion. Using a Bayesian skyline plot approach, we estimated the time of onset of the expansion of S. japonicus at 135 kyr (during the Pleistocene) and the time of stable effective population size at approximately 2.5 kyr (last glacial maximum). Based on these results, we suggest 1) a panmictic population at the oceanic planktonic larval stage, mediated by the Kuroshio current; 2) a long planktonic marine stage and long period of dispersal, which may have permitted efficient tracking of environmental shifts during the Pleistocene; and 3) a stable, constant population size ever since the last glacial maximum.

“…1), likely leading to isolation of the East China Sea from the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean (Kimura 2000). A general pattern resulting from the separation has been revealed for marine species: each sea served as an independent refugium during glaciations and gave rise to deep genetic divergence between populations, which can be dated back to the Pliocene and middle Pleistocene (Liu et al 2007, Kong & Li 2009, Xu et al 2009). After the reconnection of the ESC and SCS as the sea levels rose, ocean currents would have been the most important factor for postglacial gene flow of formerly isolated populations.…”

Present genetic patterns of marine organisms not only result from historical and contemporary ecological factors, but also from anthropogenic activities. Disentangling the relative effects of these factors can provide valuable insights into management and protection of exploitable species. The commercially important marine clam Tegillarca granosa is representative of species that are translocated within East Asia for coastal aquaculture purposes. We conducted a nucleotide sequence analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and nuclear internal transcribed spacer 1 markers in T. granosa to investigate its genetic diversity and distribution in 2 marginal seas (the East and South China Seas) of the northwestern Pacific. Based on phylogenetic inferences, we identified 2 evolutionarily significant units (ESUs) with high genetic distance between them for both markers. The high genetic distance may be associated with the historical isolation of the marginal seas during low sea level periods. One ESU was widely distributed in both seas, whereas the other was restricted to 2 disjunct localities in the South China Sea. Based on the isolation by distance analysis (p = 0.068) and comparison of patterns of co-occurring species, this pattern appears to be mostly attributable to the human-mediated translocations among coastal waters rather than natural range expansion. Furthermore, from a conservation viewpoint, the southern ESU is now facing high extinction risk because of mitochondrial introgression and smaller, fragmented populations; consequently, immediate proper management is required to protect the endangered populations representing this lineage.
