DNA barcoding of commercially important marine fish species Hipposcarus harid from the central Red Sea, Saudi Arabia

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies

In this study, the collected fish species were identified based on morphological observations and then evaluated by DNA barcoding. The COI gene has been recognized as a biological marker for fish species identification and the objective of this study is to analyze the variable region of the COI gene in subunit I. The mitochondrial cytochrome (COI) oxidase subunit I gene was analyzed as a suitable molecular maker for the identification of three specimens of the fish species Hipposcarus harid, widely distributed in the Red Sea. The COI gene sequences in the variable region revealed variations among the fish species. The COI gene sequences in the variable region were similar to the variable region of Hipposcarus harid collected from the Northern Red Sea and all three were named: H. harid H13, H. harid H2c, and H. harid H12. The identification of the fish species collected from the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia would help ichthyologists improve the management, conservation and monitoring of economically important long-nose parrotfish species in Saudi Arabia.

Diverse feeding ecology and habitat use in coral reef fishes in the Malaysian South China Sea, as revealed by liver fatty acid composition

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies

Vol. 44, No. 1

120--126

Fatty acid analysis was used to understand feeding ecology and habitat use of coral reef fishes in six families: Lutjanidae (Lutjanus lutjanus), Labridae (Thalassoma lunare), Nemipteridae (Scolopsis affinis, S. monogramma), Pomacentridae (Abudefduf bengalensis, A. sexfasciatus, A. viagiensis), Scaridae (Scarus quoyi, S. quoyi, S. rivulatus, S. ghobban) and Serrandae (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus, Cephalopholis cyanostigma, C. boenak) collected on the Bidong Island of the Malaysian South China Sea. The percentage of saturated fatty acids (ΣSAFA) ranged from 58.0% to 62.5%, with the highest values in fatty acids, the second highest percentage values were those of monounsaturated fatty acids (ΣMUFA) and they ranged from 25.7% to 38.9%, and the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (ΣPUFA) had the lowest values, i.e. from 2.7% to 13.2%. ΣMUFA and ΣPUFA were significantly different between families, while ΣSAFA did not differ. These results indicate diverse feeding ecology and habitat use during the fish life history in relation to physiological condition, sexual development, and recent feeding events in the coral reef habitats in the Malaysian South China Sea.
