“…Our study, using both mitochondrial and nuclear markers, demonstrated that genetic variation is relatively high in C. gachua . The total haplotype diversity ( h ) across the samples was 0.955, indicating a high level of genetic diversity in C. gachua , which is similar to the results obtained for other freshwater fishes in South China, such as G. hainanensis ( h = 1.00; Chen et al., 2007 ), G. orientalis ( h = 0.981; Yang et al., 2016 ), and O. hainanensis ( h = 0.946; Zhang et al., 2020 ). Compared with other freshwater fishes in South China, the nucleotide diversity of C. gachua ( θπ = 3.18%) was higher than that of other species (1.494% for O. hainanensis , see Zhang et al., 2020 ; 1.49% for A. normalis , see Huang et al., 2019 ; 2.292% for O. lepturum , see Zhou et al., 2017 ; 0.744% for G. orientalis , see Yang et al., 2016 ; and 1.875% for G. hainanensis , see Chen et al., 2007 ).…”

“…According to previous phylogeographic studies, freshwater fishes as migrants probably moved between mainland China and island populations during low sea level via water system confluence (Chen et al., 2007 ; Yang et al., 2016 ). Similar phenomena were also found in the phylogeographic studies of many freshwater fishes in the drainages of Hainan Island or on both sides of the Qiongzhou Strait (e.g., Glyptothorax hainanensis , see Chen et al., 2007 ; Garra orientalis , see Yang et al., 2016 ; genus Opsariichthys, see Lin et al., 2016 ; and Opsariichthys hainanesi , see Zhang et al., 2020 ).…”

“…In addition, some studies have shown that freshwater fish on Hainan Island may have originated in northern Vietnam in the west, rather than in southern China in the north (Lin et al., 2010 ). Our previous studies have shown that some freshwater fish in southwestern Hainan Island are more closely related to freshwater fish from the Red River in mainland China (Zhang et al., 2020 ). Moreover, Lin et al.…”

Geological events, landscape features, and climate fluctuations have shaped the distribution of genetic diversity and evolutionary history in freshwater fish, but little attention has been paid to that around the Gulf of Tonkin; therefore, we investigated the phylogeographic structure of the dwarf snakehead (Channa gachua) on Hainan Island and mainland China, as well as two populations in Vietnam. We attempted to elucidate the origins of freshwater fish in South Hainan by incorporating genetic data from DNA markers on both the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b) and the nuclear recombination‐activating gene 1 (RAG‐1). Mitochondrial phylogenetic analysis identified two major lineages (lineages A and B), which may represent separate species. Divergence data suggested that C. gachua populations diverged between 0.516 and 2.376 myr. The divergence of the two cryptic species is congruent with sea‐level rise, which subsequently isolated Hainan from the mainland. During the Pleistocene glaciations, the entire region of the Gulf of Tonkin and the Qiongzhou Strait became part of the coastal plain of the Asian continent, which might have resulted in the current distribution patterns and dispersal routes of C. gachua populations. The formation of three sublineages in lineage A indicated that the Gulf of Tonkin was a geographical barrier between Hainan Island and mainland China but not between Vietnam and Hainan Island. The results of this study may help to elucidate the origins of freshwater fish in South Hainan and the phylogeographic structure of C. gachua.

“…Onychostoma lepturum and O. meridionale occur in Laos and Vietnam, while O. lepturum is distributed in the Yuanjiang River in mainland China and Hainan Island. According to the previous biogeographic studies, the Gulf of Tonkin once formed part of the coastal plain of mainland China and the River in Vietnam and Hainan Island drained into the Gulf of Tonkin during Pleistocene glaciations (Zhang et al 2020).…”

The cyprinid genus Onychostoma Günther, 1896 consists of 24 valid species distributed in Southeast Asia, including Taiwan, Hainan, mainland China and the Indochina region. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of O. lepturum, which is 16,598 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a typical control region (D-loop). To verify the molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Acrossocheilinae, we provide new insights to better understand the taxonomic status of Acrossocheilus, Onychostoma and Folifer brevifilis. The phylogenetic trees presented three major clades based on the 13 protein-coding genes from 28 Acrossocheilinae species. Clades I and II represent the Onychostoma and Acrossocheilus groups, respectively. Species of Acrossocheilus, Onychostoma and F. brevifilis are included in Clade III, which is considered as an ancestral group. This work provides genomic variation information and improves our understanding of the Acrossocheilinae mitogenome, which will be most valuable in providing new insights for phylogenetic analysis and population genetics research.
