Using ISSR Genomic Fingerprinting to Study the Genetic Differentiation of Artemia Leach, 1819 (Crustacea: Anostraca) from Iran and Neighbor Regions with the Focus on the Invasive American Artemia franciscana

摘要: Due to the rapid developments in aquaculture industry, Artemia franciscana, originally an American species, has been introduced Eurasia, Africa and Australia. In present study, we used a partial sequence of mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (mt-DNA COI) gene genomic fingerprinting by Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs) determine genetic variability population structure populations (indigenous introduced) from 14 different geographical locations Western Asia. Based on haplotype spanning network, urmiana exhibited higher variation than native parthenogenetic populations. Although A. represented completely private distribution, no apparent was recognized among invasive franciscana Our ISSR findings have documented that despite lower source Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA), they significantly revealed compared According results, were not fully differentiated PCoA analysis, but exotic geographically divided into four groups. We believe during colonization, experienced substantial divergences, under new ecological conditions non-indigenous regions.
