Brown Trout Salmo Trutta

The Pleistocene glaciations produced a range of changes that affected the genetic population structure of fish species. Usually, studies focused on the population structure of species in postglacial recolonized areas and less attention was devoted to species differentiation within refuge areas. Allelic frequencies for 21 polymorphic protein-coding loci were compared among 25 collections within a northwestern Iberian glacial refuge of brown trout (Salmo trutta) using adjusted frequencies for nine populations to account for introgressions with exogenous hatchery fish. The high divergence observed (FST = 0.645) and geographical patterns of allelic variation are interpreted to reflect the existence of strong population structuring among native populations of this refuge. Four major geographic groups were defined within the region: (i) in the Tajo River, (ii) in the Duero River, (iii) in the Sil River, and (iv) among Cantabrian Sea flowing rivers including present anadromous populations. These gene pools have diverged genetically and ecologically in response to climatic oscillations. Anthropogenic effects on habitat and fish populations seriously compromise their future.

SUMMARYThe extent of geographic genetic variation is the result of several processes such as mutation, gene flow, selection and drift. Processes that structure the populations of parasite species are often directly linked to the processes that influence the host. Here, we investigate the genetic population structure of the ectoparasite Gyrodactylus thymalli Žitňan, 1960 (Monogenea) collected from grayling (Thymallus thymallus L.) throughout the river Glomma, the largest watercourse in Norway. Parts of the mitochondrial dehydrogenase subunit 5 (NADH 5) and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) genes from 309 G. thymalli were analysed to study the genetic variation and investigated the geographical distribution of parasite haplotypes. Three main clusters of haplotypes dominated the three distinct geographic parts of the river system; one cluster dominated in the western main stem of the river, one in the eastern and one in the lower part. There was a positive correlation between pairwise genetic distance and hydrographic distance. The results indicate restricted gene flow between sub-populations of G. thymalli, most likely due to barriers that limit upstream migration of infected grayling. More than 80% of the populations had private haplotypes, also indicating long-time isolation of sub-populations. According to a molecular clock calibration, much of the haplotype diversity of G. thymalli in the river Glomma has developed after the last glaciation.
