ABSTRACT

 

The intra- and inter-specific variation of Acetes shrimps were evaluated based on samples collected from in-shore catches and off-shore trawling around the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Species captured were identified as Acetes indicus, A. serrulatus, A. japonicus and A. sibogae. A region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene comprising 552 base pairs (bp) was amplified from 159 Acetes specimens. The sequence alignment analysis generated phylogenetic trees which depicted the four major clades that were consistent with the species identified morphologically. These four species varied considerably for haplotype and nucleotide diversity, with A. indicus and A. serrulatus showing different demographic histories. Furthermore, the observation of two clades in the A. indicus and A. sibogae lineages, with relatively high levels of intraspecific divergence, suggests that cryptic diversity is possibly present in these two taxa. This study has contributed to the knowledge of the distribution patterns and molecular phylogenetics of four Acetes spp. in the Straits of Malacca.

ABSTRAK

 

Variasi intra- dan antara spesies Acetes dinilai berdasarkan sampel yang dikumpulkan daripada tangkapan di pantai dan tunda di luar pesisir pantai di sekitar pantai barat Semenanjung Malaysia. Spesies yang ditangkap dikenal pasti sebagai Acetes indicus, A. serrulatus, A. japonicus dan A. sibogae. Suatu kawasan gen sitokrom c oksidase mitokondria subunit I (COI) yang terdiri daripada 552 pasangan bes (bp) telah teramplifikasi daripada 159 spesimen Acetes. Analisis penjajaran jujukan menghasilkan pokok filogenetik yang menggambarkan empat klad utama adalah tekal dengan spesies yang telah dikenal pasti secara morfologi. Empat spesies ini sangat berbeza daripada segi kepelbagaian haplotip dan nukleotid dengan A. indicus dan A. serrulatus menunjukkan sejarah demografi yang berbeza. Tambahan pula, pemerhatian titisan dalam dua klad A. indicus dan A. sibogae, dengan tahap perbezaan intraspesies yang agak tinggi, menunjukkan bahawa kepelbagaian krip mungkin ada dalam dua taksa ini. Kajian ini telah menyumbang kepada pengetahuan tentang pola taburan dan molekul filogenetik empat Acetes spp. di Selat Melaka.

 

Kata kunci: Acetes; analisis filogenetik; gen COI; Semenanjung Malaysia; spesies kriptik
