摘要
Assessment of population parameters and genetic diversity is critical for the economic and threatened species,including Oreochromis mossambicus.The morphometric and population parameters data for O.mossambicus were extracted based on the available literature from various countries.Phylogenetic and genetic diversity were analyzed based on cytochrome c oxidaseⅠ(COⅠ)sequences of the mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)gene.The population parameters(asymptotic length(L_(∞)),growth constant(K),growth performance index(Ø),approximate maximum age(t_(max)),standard length(L),and weight(W))results revealed a variation among the populations studied.The result categorized the population into two groups:South African populations located close to Zimbabwe,Mozambique,Namibia,Australia,and China,as GroupⅠ,and the Indian population placed close to Thailand,the Philippines,Indonesia,America,and Mexico as GroupⅡ.The meta-regression results reveal that temperature strongly correlated with weight.In contrast,other population factors showed no significant differences.The haplotype analysis based on COI of mtDNA displayed 21 haplotypes,which revealed low nucleotide(π=0.025)diversity.Haplotype diversity(HD)was 0.65.The haplotype analysis showed that Tajima(D)was negative(-0.82)and Fu’s Fs was positive(2.2),and both tests were not significant(P>0.05),whereas the overall F-statistic(F_(st))value was 0.40(P<0.001).In conclusion,population parameters,and genetic analysis indices a high variation among the O.mossambicus from different locations.Additionally,the population parameters for O.mossambicus in America,Asia,and Australia were more influenced by ecological factors.At the same time,the population parameters in the African continent were influenced more by genetic factors.
