Deep-sea amphipods around cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts: Taxonomic diversity and selection of candidate species for connectivity analysis.

The aim of this study was to select a candidate deep-sea amphipod species suitable for connectivity analyses in areas around cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts (CRCs). We applied DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial protein-coding gene, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), to specimens collected...

description The aim of this study was to select a candidate deep-sea amphipod species suitable for connectivity analyses in areas around cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts (CRCs). We applied DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial protein-coding gene, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), to specimens collected from the Xufu Guyot (the JA06 Seamount) off southeastern Minami-Torishima Island in the North Pacific, where CRCs are distributed. We used baited traps to collect 37 specimens. Comparison of COI sequences with public reference databases (GenBank, BOLD) showed that almost all of the specimens belonged to the superfamily Lysianassoidea, which is known to be ubiquitous in deep-sea areas. In a molecular taxonomic analysis of these sequences, we detected 11 clades. One of these clades (group 9) composed of 18 sequences and was identified by DNA barcoding as a putative species belonging to Abyssorchomene, which has been reported from the New Hebrides Trench in the South Pacific. We considered this species to be a candidate for connectivity analysis and analyzed its genome by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. The results showed that the genetic variation in this species is adequate for analyzing connectivity patterns in CRC areas in the future.
