The complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia salina Leach, 1819 (Crustacea: Anostraca).

ABSTRACT: In the study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia salina was reported for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of A. salina is 15,762 bp in length, with the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes, and a major non-coding region (CR). Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. salina has a much closer relationship with A. persimilis compared to other Artemia species. The complete cp genome sequence of A. salina reported here provided an essential resource for further population genetics research and germplasm conservation on Artemia.

Project description:BackgroundArtemia sinica is a brine shrimp species distributed in hypersaline salt lakes in northern China and Siberia and a successful invasive species in some coastal salterns. Although it is a commercially harvested and cultured species, knowledge of its reproductive characteristics is limited, and existing studies are often contradictory. The combined effects of temperature, salinity, and photoperiod on reproduction characteristics are experimentally studied to better understand its reproductive features.MethodsThere were 36 combinations of three environmental factors (3 × 3 × 4), each with three or four levels, namely temperature (16, 25, 30 °C), photoperiod (6 L:18 D, 12 L:12D, 18 L:6D), and salinity (50, 100, 150, 200 PSU). In each treatment, 48 to 80 pairs of A. sinica from Yuncheng Salt Lake (Shanxi, China) were cultured. Females were observed daily for reproductive mode and the number of offspring produced.ResultsTemperature, photoperiod, salinity, and their interactions significantly affected the lifespan and reproduction of A. sinica. The reproductive period was the longest and accounted for the largest proportion of life span at moderate temperature (25 °C). Total offspring, offspring per brood, and offspring per day increased as salinity decreased, and the number of broods per female was highest at 25 °C. Temperature, photoperiod, and salinity significantly influenced reproductive modes, and interactions among these factors were identified. Artemia sinica primarily reproduces oviparously under low temperature and short daylight conditions, and ovoviviparously under high temperature and long daylight conditions, with the maximum oviparity ratio recorded in treatments of 16 °C, 6L:18D, and 50 or 100 PSU. The maximum ovoviviparity ratio was recorded under 30 °C, 12L:12D, and 100 PSU. Unlike that documented for other Artemia species or populations, the brood size of A. sinica kept increasing throughout the reproductive period. It did not decline even in the last two broods. For the same brood number, the sizes of oviparous and ovoviviparous broods were similar. The length of the oviparous interval was often greater than that of the ovoviviparous interval, suggesting that oviparous offspring might require additional energy and time to construct the multi-layered eggshell. Compared to other species and populations, the A. sinica from Yuncheng Salt Lake has a relatively shorter pre-reproductive development time, a preference for ovoviviparity, and relatively higher fecundity and population growth capacity, making it a suitable culture species for obtaining fresh biomass.

Project description:High morphological plasticity in populations of brine shrimp subjected to different environmental conditions, mainly salinity, hindered for centuries the identification of the taxonomic entities encompassed within Artemia. In addition, the mismatch between molecular and morphological evolution rates complicates the characterization of evolutionary lineages, generating taxonomic problems. Here, we propose a phylogenetic hypothesis for Artemia based on two new complete mitogenomes, and determine levels of congruence in the definition of evolutionary units using nuclear and mtDNA data. We used a fossil of Artemia to calibrate the molecular clock and discuss divergence times within the genus. The hypothesis proposed herein suggests a more recent time frame for lineage splitting than previously considered. Phylogeographic analyses were performed using GenBank available mitochondrial and nuclear markers. Evidence of gen e flow, identified through discordances between nuclear and mtDNA markers, was used to reconsider the specific status of some taxa. As a result, we consider Artemia to be represented by five evolutionary units: Southern Cone, Mediterranean-South African, New World, Western Asian, and Eastern Asian Lineages. After an exhaustive bibliographical revision, unavailable names for nomenclatural purposes were discarded. The remaining available names have been assigned to their respective evolutionary lineage. The proper names for the evolutionary units in which brine shrimps are structured remain as follows: Artemia persimilis Piccinelli & Prosdocimi, 1968 for the Southern Cone Lineage, Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758) for the Mediterranean-SouthAfrican Lineage, Artemia urmiana Günther, 1899 for the Western Asian Lineage, and Artemia sinica Cai, 1989 for the Eastern Asian Lineage. The name Artemia monica Verrill, 1869 has nomenclatural priority over A. franciscana Kellogg, 1906 for naming the New World Lineage. New synonymies are proposed for A. salina (= C. dybowskii Grochowski, 1896 n. syn., and A. tunisiana Bowen & Sterling, 1978 n. syn.), A. monica (= A. franciscana Kellogg, 1906 n. syn., and A. salina var. pacifica Sars, 1904 n. syn.); A. urmiana (= B. milhausenii Fischer de Waldheim, 1834 n. syn., A. koeppeniana Fischer, 1851 n. syn., A. proxima King, 1855 n. syn., A. s. var. biloba Entz, 1886 n. syn., A. s. var. furcata Entz, 1886 n. syn., A. asiatica Walter, 1887 n. syn., A. parthenogenetica Bowen & Sterling, 1978 n. syn., A. ebinurica Qian & Wang, 1992 n. syn., A. murae Naganawa, 2017 n. syn., and A. frameshifta Naganawa & Mura, 2017 n. syn.). Internal deep nuclear structuring within the A. monica and A. salina clades, might suggest the existence of additional evolutionary units within these taxa.
