Article Synopsis
  • This study is the first to analyze the genome of a wild population, focusing on developing and applying microsatellite markers to understand genetic structure.
  • The genome assembly was high-quality, with 31,166 protein-coding genes identified, and revealed significant gene family expansions and contractions when compared to 10 other fish genomes.
  • Population genetic analysis of 120 individuals showed variations in genetic diversity, resulting in the identification of three distinct populations based on allele counts and heterozygosity.

is endemic to South Korea and inhabits small areas of the Namhangang, Bukhangang, and Imjingang Rivers in the Hangang River water system. Endemic species usually are more vulnerable than species with a wide distribution. Notably, there is a lack of basic conservation data for .

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the genetic diversity and structure of the Korean endemic aucha perch using mitochondrial DNA data, which had previously received limited research attention compared to other aspects like egg development.
  • Results showed distinct populations grouped by river systems (Hangang, Nakdonggang, Geumgang, and southwest regions), indicating significant genetic differentiation among these populations.
  • The findings highlight the importance of conservation efforts, revealing that the translocated Yangyang Namdaechun Stream population originated from the Hangang River, and emphasizing the need for more research on these fish species to support their preservation.
