Biometric Analysis Of The Artificial Hybridization Between Pangasius Djambal Bleeker, 1846 And Pangasianodon Hypophthalmus Sauvage, 1878
It is really important, since the possible use of these pangasiid hybrids in aquaculture faces the problem of potential impact on wild population. Therefore, it is urgently needed to provide quick identification tools in the field. This study investigated morphological characters of Pangasius djambal and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus and their hybrids. A detailed morphological analysis using 32 morphometric measurements and five meristic counts was done on the hybridization of P. djambal and P. hypophthalmus. Morphometric analysis and meristic counts showed that the reciprocal hybrids have intermediate characters except for gill raker number in which lower than that of parental species. In general, the hybrids have tendency to be like P. hypophthalmus rather than P. djambal. The only typical character of P. djambal appeared on hybrids is teeth shape, both vomerine and palatine. It is clearly defined that the true hybrids have seven pelvic fin rays
Pangasiid Catfishes of Indonesia
Pangasiidae are economically important riverine catfishes generally occurring in freshwater from the Indian subcontinent to the Indonesian Archipelago. Morphologically, they are recognized by a laterally compressed body, two pairs of barbels, a short dorsal fin with two spines, a well developed adipose fin, a long anal fin, and a strong pectoral spine. The systematics of this family are still poorly known. Consequently, the lack of this basic information is a great barrier in understanding the biology and hence the study of the aquaculture potential of species, the improvement of their seed production and growth performance. Objectives of the study are to present all species and genera of pangasiid catfishes of Indonesia including their distribution and detailed identification
CONTRIBUTION TO THE PHYLOGENY OF THE PANGASIIDAE BASED ON MITOCHONDRIAL 12S RDNA
Catfishes are generally one of the economically important groups of fresh and brackish water fishes in the world. In many countries, they form a significant part of inland fisheries, and several species have been introduced in fish culture. Judging from literature, the main constraint to cultivate wild species and to optimise the production of pangasiid catfishes is due to the poorly documented systematics of this family. In the present contribution, the phylogenetic relationships within Pangasiidae are studied to contribute to a better insight in their taxonomy and evolution. The genetic relatedness is inferred using mitochondrial 12S rDNA gene sequences. To resolve the phylogenetic position of Laides in this group of catfish, five genera of Asian and African Schilbeidae are also considered. The results showed that a species group (complex) could be clearly seen in the genetic tree. Pangasius is more derive than the other genera. By using approximate molecular clock/evolutionary calibration from mitochondrial gene, a new episode of speciation for the family marked explosive radiation about 5- 8 million years ago (mya). This adaptive radiation extended until the Late Pleistocene. Regarding the relationships between the Pangasiidae and Schilbeidae, two families show an allopatric distribution with slight overlap. The Pangasiidae occur mainly in Southeast Asia, while the Schilbeidae are seen mainly on the Indian subcontinent (including Myanmar) and Africa. It confirms the separation between Schilbeidae and Pangasiidae occurred in the Early Miocene
Kode Batang DNA Ikan Lais Genus Kryptopterus Asal Sungai Mahakam Kalimantan Timur [Barcoding DNA Of Catfish Species Genus Kryptopterus From Sungai Mahakam Kalimantan Timur]
Penelitian kode batang DNA spesies ikan lais genus Kryptopterus asal Sungai Mahakam Kalimantan Timur mengguna-kan gen COI DNA mitokondria dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengungkap penanda genetik (kode batang DNA), ka-rakterisasi genetik dan pohon genetik. Amplifikasi daerah gen COI DNA mitokondria dilakukan dengan menggunakan pasangan primer COI FishF1 dan COI FishR1 terhadap tiga spesies ikan lais yang terdiri atas Kryptopterus apogon (N=3), K. micronema (N=6), dan K. limpok (N=1). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penyejajaran berganda pada gen par-sial COI DNA mitokondria antara spesies K. apogon, K. micronema, dan K. limpok diperoleh tiga situs nukleotida spe-sifik sebagai penanda genetik (kode batang DNA). Analisis karakterisasi genetik pada genus Kryptopterus berdasarkan gen parsial COI DNA mitokondria menunjukkan situs nukleotida yang bervariasi sebesar 13,58%, substitusi nukleotida lebih besar pada kodon ketiga dan bersifat transisi dari pada transversi. Konstruksi ulang pohon genetik berdasarkan ni-lai p-distance dapat memisahkan kelompok spesies K. apogon, K. micronema,dan K. limpok dengan nilai bootstrap sempurna
Karakterisasi Genetik Ikan Kelabau (Osteochilus Kelabau) Dari Berbagai Lokasi Di Kalimantan Barat Menggunakan Metode Rapd (Random Amplified Polymorphism Dna) [Genetic Characterization of Kelabau Fish (Osteochilus Kelabau) From Several Locations in West Kalimantan Using Rapd (Random Amplified Polymorphism Dna) Method]
Kelabau fish (Osteochilus sp.) is an endemic fish to Kalimantan inland waters that is potential to be developed. The aim of this research was to characterize Kelabau fish and to study the data base (genetic character) of kelabau as well as its relationship. The result showed that the highest polymorphism and heterozigosity was on Kelabau Sintang and the lowest was on Kelabau Kapuas Hulu. The closest genetic distance value were between Kelabau Pontianak-Kapuas Hulu (0.5351) and the furthest were between Kelabau Pontianak-Sintang (0.6852)
