“…The phylogenetic tree supports our taxonomic identifications and indicates the four groupers are separated to species level, indicating adequate COL1 sequence variation between species for ZooMS to be a viable method for species ID. Our tree (Figure 2) is consistent with previous phylogenetic work on Epinephelidae (Vella et al., 2022; Vella & Vella, 2016, 2021). The bootstrap replicate values show high support for all but one of the proposed splits, with lower support for the taxonomic relation between Epinephelus marginatus and Epinephelus costae .…”

“…Previously proposed phylogenies for eastern Atlantic groupers, including all four of our study species, were inconsistent (Maggio et al., 2005). The phylogeny we have proposed matches well with other genetic work done on our study species and the species included in our reference library (Vella et al., 2022). Our tree currently provides the best supported phylogenetic tree for Epinephelus aeneus and Epinephelus caninus in relation to other Mediterranean groupers.…”

“…This marker has thus not been relied on exclusively to identify archaeological samples. The reliability of the intra-genus biomarkers we have found is supported by the quantity of distinctive biomarkers validated, the genetic distance between combers and groupers (Vella et al, 2022) and variability provided by the three distinctive collagen chains in Actinopterygii fish (Kimura & Ohno, 1987).…”

“…However, when presented with their bones, especially from archaeological contexts which regularly produce fragmentary remains, species‐level identifications are exceptionally rare (Desse & Desse‐Berset, 1996). When working with ichthyoarchaeological assemblages in the Mediterranean, in addition to groupers there are three species of combers (Serranidae) which must also be considered due to indistinguishable osteomorphology (Desse & Desse‐Berset, 1996), despite belonging to different taxonomic families (Craig et al., 2011; Vella et al., 2022; Vella & Vella, 2016). Combers have similar ecology to groupers and overlap in size with sexually immature groupers (Froese & Pauly, 2023).…”

Marine historical ecology provides a means to establish baselines to inform current fisheries management. Groupers (Epinephelidae) are key species for fisheries in the Mediterranean, which have been heavily overfished. Species abundance and distribution prior to the 20th century in the Mediterranean remains poorly known. To reconstruct the past biogeography of Mediterranean groupers, we investigated whether Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) can be used for identifying intra‐genus grouper bones to species level. We discovered 22 novel, species‐specific ZooMS biomarkers for groupers. Applying these biomarkers to Kinet Höyük, a Mediterranean archaeological site, demonstrated 4000 years of regional Epinephelus aeneus dominance and resiliency through millennia of fishing pressures, habitat degradation and climatic changes. Combining ZooMS identifications with catch size reconstructions revealed the Epinephelus aeneus capacity for growing 30 cm larger than hitherto documented, revising the maximum Total Length from 120 to 150 cm. Our results provide ecological baselines for a key Mediterranean fishery which could be leveraged to define and assess conservation targets.

“…Twelve of the PCGs were encoded by the heavy strand, while only one (ND6) was encoded by the light strand (Table 1). ATG was the initiation methionine codon used for all PCGS except CO1 which was initiated with GTG, a common finding in other animal mitochondrial DNAs [22]. On the other hand, two stop codons were employed TTA (ATPase6, ATPase8, COI, ND2, ND4L, ND5, and ND6), and TAG (ND1).…”

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Mango tilapia (Sarotherodon galilaeus: Cichlidae)

Background Sarotherodon galilaeus (Linné, 1758) is a member of the family Cichlidae, which is considered the most important aquaculture freshwater species endemic to Africa and the Middle East. The genetics and molecular biology of this species are rare. This requires more comprehensive mitochondrial genomes-based phylogenetics to enhance understanding of the relationship and delineate this species. Methods and results Here, we assembled the complete mitogenome of S. galilaeus using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology. The mango tilapia mitogenome was 16,631 bp in length with an AT composition of 53.4% and 46.4% GC content. It encodes 37 genes comprising two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) as well as the D-loop known as the control region. The phylogenetic tree was conducted to provide a relationship within the haplotilapiine lineage based on the maximum likelihood method, and the newly sequenced S. galilaeus was clustered with other Sarotherodon species. Conclusion Our results provide a new perception of the genetic basis of S. galilaeus species for further research on systematics, evolution, population genetics, and molecular ecology.
