บทคัดย่อ
การเพาะเลี้ยงปลาหมอ(Anabas testudineus)ได้รับความสนใจในหลายๆประเทศเนื่องจากเป็นปลาที่มีการบริโภคอย่าง
แพร่หลาย เป็นแหล่งโปรตีนที่มีราคาถูก และเพิ่มความสำคัญทางเศรษฐกิจในระดับนานาชาติ กรมประมงของประเทศไทยจึงมี
ความสนใจที่จะคัดเลือกปลาชนิดนี้ให้มีลักษณะที่ดีขึ้นสำหรับการเพาะเลี้ยงสัตว์น้ำ อย่างไรก็ตามยังขาดข้อมูลเบื้องต้นถึงระดับ

Introduction
Climbingperch(Anabas testudineus)isacommon
tropicalfresh-andbrackishwaterfishspeciesinAsia.
ItsaquaculturehasreceivedattentioninmanyAsian
countriesbothasanemergingeconomicspeciesand
affordableproteinsource.ProductionofA. testudineus
inThailandincreasedfrom7,700tonsin2001to16,200
tonsin2005(ThailandDepartmentofFisheries,2006).
Withgrowingnumberoffarms(550farms(recordedin
2005and1,024farmsrecordedin2007)inThailand,there
areinterestsindevelopingdomesticatedbroodstockof
thisspecies(Dr.SangaLeesanga,ChumphonFisheries
TestandResearchCenter,Personalcommunication).
An initial step for a breeding program is to
developabasepopulation.Acriticalrequirementfor
aneffectivebreedingprogramistoknowwhetherthe
speciesexistsasasinglegeneticunit(homogeneous)
or as series of relatively genetically distinct groups
(heterogeneous)(Beaumont&Hoare,2003).Ferguson
(1994)suggestedthatacommercialbreedingprogram
shouldstartfromabasepopulationwithawide-range
genetic base. Thiswill ensure for long-term genetic
responses(Hayeset al.,2006).Todevelopsuchbase
population,geneticdataofthesourcepopulationswill
be critical. The genetic datawill help us determine
whetherpotentialsourcesforthebasepopulationare
geneticallydistinct.Inaddition,thesedatacanaidthe
decisionstoconserveoriginalgenepoolforfutureap-
plication(Tinniet al.,2007).
MitochondrialDNA(mtDNA)geneticmarkerhas
been proven successful in differentiating populations
ofseveralfishspeciessuchasswordfish(Chowet al.,
1997),sockeyesalmon(Brykovet al.,2003),Dollyvarden
(Oleiniket al.,2004),andfreshwatergoby(Takahashi
&Ohara,2003).MtDNAcanbemoresensitive than

et al.,1998).Ithassmallereffectivepopulationsize(Liu
&Cordess,2004)andhigherrateofnucleotidesubstitu-
tionsthanallozymesornuclearDNA(Brownet al.,1979).
Inaddition,mtDNAisappropriateforpopulationgenetic
studybecausemitochondrialgenomeissmall,maternally
inherited, and only small amount of sample needed
foranalysis.TheD-looporcontrolregion(non-coding
region)ofmtDNAisgenerallymorevariablethanthe
coding region due to its lower functional constrains and
lackofselectionpressure(Liu&Cordess,2004).Inthis
study,weevaluatedgeneticvariationofA. testudineus
from different geographic areas using PCR-RFLP of
mtDNAD-loopregion.Theinformationobtainedfrom
thestudycanhelpdesignmanagementstrategiesto

Materialsandmethods Wecollected fin clips of adultA. testudineus

ethidium bromide. The electrophoretic migration of
restrictedDNA fragments (haplotype)onagelwere
comparedagainst50bpDNAladder.TheDNAfragments
werevisualizedunderUVlight(VILBERLOURMATETX-
40M).Eachdistincthaplotypepatternwasassignedwith
aletter.Eachindividualfishwasassignedbymultiple
lettersrepresentingitscompositehaplotype.
We evaluated two levels of genetic variation
(withinandamongpopulations).Forwithinpopulation
geneticvariation,weestimatedhaplotypediversity(h)andnucleotidediversity(π)usingDAimplementedin
REAP (McElroy et al., 1992). Homogeneity test was
performed using MONTE implemented in REAP to
determine whether the haplotype frequencies differ
significantlyamongpopulations.Totestwhetherwithin-
populationgeneticvariationdiffersamongpopulations,
weperformedanalysisofvariance(ANOVA)ofhaplotype
numberandhaplotypediversityusingSPSS11(SPSS
Inc.).Toexaminewhether thepresenceofparticular
haplotypescorrelatewithgeographiclocationsofthe
samples,weconstructedaNeighbor-Joiningdendrogram
basedonNei’sgeneticdistanceofcompositehaplotypes
usingPHYLIPversion3.68(Felsenstein,1989).
Toevaluatepopulationgeneticdivergence,two
approacheswereused:(1)analysisofmolecularvari-
ance (AMOVA),and (2)geneticdistanceandcluster
analysis.AMOVAtestwascalculatedusingARLEQUIN
version3.11(Excoffieret al.,2005).Apairwisecompari-
sonamongpopulations(FST)andExacttestswerealso
performedusingARLEQUIN.ANei’sgeneticdistance
matrix(ahundredbootstrapreplicates)wasobtained
usingMTDIS (Danzmann,1998).Thedistancematrix
thenusedtoconstructaNeighbor-Joiningdendrogram
usingPHYLIPversion3.68(Felsenstein,1989).
Results and discussionsWithinpopulationgeneticvariation
Restrictionanalysisyieldedfifteencompositehap-

rangingfromone(CU2)tosix(NPandSN)(Table3).
SNhadaveryuniquesetofcompositehaplotypes

thatSNsampleisgeneticallydistinctfromtheothers,
althoughsmallnumberofsamplescouldalsoexplain
why there were no shared haplotypes between SN
andotherpopulations.Amongallhaplotypes,h2 was themostcommonhaplotypewhichpresentinalmost

inhaplotypedistributionamongallpopulations(χ2 =

geographicalassociation(Hidayat,2010).
Bothhaplotypediversityandnucleotidediversity
suggestedasimilargeneticdiversitypatternwithNP
havinghighesthaplotypediversity(0.78)andnucleotide

diversity (Table 3). Nucleotide diversity values were
muchlowerthanhaplotypediversityineverysample.
Most samples had relatively low nucleotide diversity
(0.000-0.028). The level of MtDNA diversity of the
examined A. testudineus populations was similar to
otherfreshwaterfishes.Thehaplotypediversityvalues

severalmarinefishes,somepopulationshadreasonably
highlevelofgeneticdiversity.Bothsamplesfromthe
ChaoPhrayariversystem(UandNP)showedhigher
geneticdiversitythantheotherriversystems(average
h=0.66and0.45forsamplesfromtheChaoPhraya
and other river systems, respectively). This result is
similartotheobservationinanotherspecieswithsimilar
lifehistorytoA. testudineus.Na-Nakornet al.(2004)
detected higher level of genetic diversity ofClarias

paredtotheMekong,South-east,andPeninsularriver
systems;theauthorssuggestedthattheChaoPhraya
riversystemmightprovideagoodbreedinggroundwith
littlegeographicalbarriers.Thus,thesefishspecieswere
abletomaintainalargepopulationsizeencountering
the effects of genetic drift.
TheabilityofA. testudineus to ‘walk’ and sur-
vive on land for an extended period of timemight
increasethechanceforgeneflowbetweenneighboring
populations.Geneticcontributionfromdistinctgenetic
sources will increase genetic variation of the receiving
populations.Sokhenget al.(1999)reportedthehistory
oflateralmigrationofthisspeciesfromtheMekong

ANOVA suggested that wild populations had

tions(averageh=0.52and0.10,respectively;P=0.01).Thefindingsaretypicalforseveralspecies.Sekinoet al.
(2002)foundthatwildpopulationsofJapaneseFlounder

(h=0.00-0.79;average=0.39).Possiblereasonsforthe reduction in genetic variation in these hatchery

In A. testudineus hatchery populations, some
aquaculturepractices,suchasselectivebreeding,using
unequalnumbersofmaleandfemalebreeders,andus-

populationshaveundergoneatleastfourgenerations
of domestication and some selection for body size
andgrowth(Dr.SangaLeesanga,ChumphonFisheries

andResearchCenter(CU1sample)isagroupspawning
of100-200individualswitha1:1maletofemaleratio
(Dr. Sanga Leesanga,Chumphon Fisheries Test and

massspawningmightallowfordifferentialbroodstock
contributionwhichwillreducegeneticvariation(Frost
et al.,2006).EventhoughthebroodstockattheChum-
phonFisheriesTestandResearchCenterwasderived
fromthebroodstockattheprivatefarm,thelevelof
geneticdiversityinCU1samplewasslightlyhigherthan
thatobservedintheCU2sample.Thisobservationmay
reflectthedifferenceinpracticesbetweenthesetwo

numberofbreeders).
Lowlevelofgeneticdiversityinhatcherypopula-

Recommendationsforbroodstockmanagement
Afteronlyafewgenerationsofdomestication,
the levelofgeneticvariation inhatcherypopulations
wasquitelow.Thehatcheriesmayneedtoconsider
changingsomeaquaculturepracticestoincreasege-
neticvariationandprolongthelossofgeneticvariation.
Thesepracticesmayincludeusinga1:1maletofemale
ratio,andavoidusingagroupspawningforbroodstock
development.
BreedingschemeusedattheChumphonFisheries
TestandResearchCenterisalready1:1maletofemale
ratio.However,inagroupspawning,thecontributionof
parentsislikelyunknown.Groupspawningalsotends

However,restrictionmappinginthispartofDNAmight
