Using DNA samples of Sakhalin taimen and a set of microsatellite loci, earlier reported for other salmonid fishes (Salmonidae), successful cross-species amplification was performed. A total of 56 Sakhalin taimen (Parahucho perryi) samples from the Daga, Nabil, Poronai, and Agnevo rivers (Sakhalin Island) were examined at 36 microsatellite loci, most ofwhich were described for other species and first tested in taimen. Among the 21 loci first tested in taimen, two loci produced no amplification products. The remaining 19 loci were successfully amplified (for some loci, new primers were generated). Thirteen of these loci were monomorphic, while six loci were polymorphic and used in further population genetic analysis. In addition, with the purpose of modification of the allele sizes and optimization of the research technique, new primers for the already known 12 loci of Sakhalin taimen were designed. Three more loci were included in analysis without changes. As a result, ajoint panel consisting of 21 polymorphic microsatellite markers was suggested for analysis of Sakhalin taimen. This panel was tested with four population samples from the rivers of Sakhalin Island. The results showed that this panel of markers could be used in detailed population studies for evaluation of the level of genetic differentiation, inbreeding, and migrations in Sakhalin taimen, an endangered species with a fragmented range. Using this approach in further studies will make it possible to isolate basic populations, which is necessary for conservation of this rare species.

New data on the complete mitochondrial genome of (Azygiidae) were obtained by the next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of had a length of 13 857 bp and included 12 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two non-coding regions. The nucleotide sequences of the complete mitochondrial genomes of two specimens differed from each other by 0.

We describe individual movements of adult Sakhalin taimen , an endangered salmonid fish, in the headwaters of a river in northern Japan during the spring spawning season over 2 years. Migration timing, separated into stages prior to, during, and following the spawning period, was found to be more consistent and repeatable for females than males.

Research Background: Animal collagen has been widely utilized in foods, cosmetics and biomedical fields. The non-edible portion, such as fish skin and bones, are obtained during cooking. Most of them are currently discarded as wastes, although the nutritional value of the skin and bones is high.

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of Sakhalin taimen Parahucho perryi. The genome sizes were 16,652 bp and 16,653 bp in the two isolates. Gene arrangement, base composition, and size of the two sequenced haplotypes are very similar to the P.

The statistically significant differentiation of the populations from the mainland coast of the Sea of Japan and the eastern and western coasts of Sakhalin Island was demonstrated. The higher level of haplotype diversity in Sakhalin populations compared to Primorye populations and the structure of haplotype genealogies suggested that all populations of Parahucho perryi originated from a common ancestor, which probably lived on the western coast of the Sakhalin Island.
