Abstract:

The marine mollusc Tectus pyramis inhabits the coral reef ecosystems surrounding Dapeng Bay in Shenzhen (SZ), Hainan Island, Xisha (XS) and Nansha Islands of China. In this study, the genetic diversity and genetic structure of three natural populations of T. pyramis from SZ, Sanya (SY) and XS were assessed using specific locus amplified fragment (SLAF) sequencing. A total of 115.74 Mb reads was obtained, with an average depth of 337.87-fold, and an average Q30 value of 94.07 %. Based on 118679 polymorphic SLAF tags, we obtained 846502 highly consistent population single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and found 155 SNPs displayed significant differences between populations. Average observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosity values for the three populations ranged from 0.1441 to 0.1611 and from 0.2537 to 0.2695, respectively. Average polymorphism information content (PIC) values were between 0.2048 and 0.2176. The 45 individuals were roughly divided into three groups by phylogenetic tree analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering; and all the individuals from each population could be clustered into a single group. The genetic structures of SZ and SY populations were similar, yielding the lowest genetic distance (0.2510) and Fst value (0.0818). However, genetic differentiation between XS and the other two populations was significant, especially between SX and SZ (Fst = 0.1868). Genetic differentiation of the three populations may be correlated to ocean currents and geographical locations. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for germplasm resource management and future aquaculture breeding programs.
