Genetic Structure and Genetic Diversity of the Endemic Korean Aucha Perch, <i>Coreoperca herzi</i> (Centropomidae), in Korea

The Korean endemic aucha perch, <i>Coreoperca herzi</i>, belongs to the family Centropomidae. Thus far, studies on <i>C. herzi</i> have focused on mitochondrial genomes, egg development, and early life history, while studies on their genetic diversity or genetic structure are...

description The Korean endemic aucha perch, <i>Coreoperca herzi</i>, belongs to the family Centropomidae. Thus far, studies on <i>C. herzi</i> have focused on mitochondrial genomes, egg development, and early life history, while studies on their genetic diversity or genetic structure are lacking. We investigated these aspects in this study using mitochondrial DNA data. Haplotypes were divided into the Hangang River, Nakdonggang River, Geumgang River, and southwest region water system populations. A translocated population, the Yangyang Namdaechun Stream, was confirmed to have originated from the Hangang River water system population based on haplotype distribution and genetic structure results. The <i>F</i><sub>ST</sub> of the mitochondrial DNA indicated distinct genetic differentiation in the Hangang, Nakdonggang, Geumgang, and southwest regions. According to <i>COI</i> and analyses, the analysis of molecular variance revealed a higher variance in the four water system groups (98.41%) than in the southwest region water system versus the Hangang River water system (80.27%) groups. This study presents basic data for conservation by providing extensive information on the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and translocation population of <i>C. herzi</i>.
