Abstract:

A phylogenetic analysis, based on 138 putatively informative characters, of the 11 species of the superfamily Echeneoidea (Echeneidae, Rachycentridae, and Coryphaenidae) resulted in a single most parsimonious tree. This tree strongly supports the monophyly of the superfamily with the following relationships: Coryphaenidae + (Rachycentridae + (Phtheirichthys lineatus + ((Echeneis naucrates + Echeneis neucratoides) + (Remora brachyptera + (Remora remora + (Remora australis + (Remora osteochir + Remora albescens))))))). One of the traditional subfamilies, Echeneiinae, and one of the traditional genera, Remora, were both found to be paraphyletic. A new classification of the family based on natural groupings eliminated the subfamilial designations and subsumed the genus Remorina under the genus Remora, rendering it monophyletic. An examination of the behavioural data resulted in the hypothesis of a gradual step-by-step development of "hitchhiking" behaviour from general schooling behaviour (outgroups) to attaching to a select few types of hosts in the pelagic environment (as exhibited by R. osteochir).

Abstract:

The Cobia, Rachycentron canadum (Linnaeus 1766), is a large, fast-growing coastal pelagic fish belonging to the monotypic family Rachycentridae. In this study, we describe in detail the osteological characters of the Cobia from Indian waters. The skull, appendicular, and axial skeletons were disarticulated, examined, and illustrated. We characterize the species based on morphometry, meristic counts, and osteological features and briefly review the phylogenetic relationships proposed for the species.

Abstract:

The cobia is the only representative of the Rachycentridae family and, because of its zootechnical qualities, production of this fish has been implemented in several countries, such as the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Tuxophorus caligodes is a widespread parasite of marine fish worldwide. For the present report, 15 juvenile cobias were collected from net cages on a fish farm in Ilhabela, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the winter of 2011. The fish were sacrificed by means of cerebral concussion, and then weighed (280 ± 70.5 g) and measured (27 ± 1.97 cm). After external examination under a stereomicroscope, ectoparasites present on the body surface were collected, fixed and processed for identification. Out of the 15 fish examined, two were parasitized with Tuxophorus caligodes, thus indicating a prevalence of 13.3%. This is the first report of Tuxophorus caligodes in cobias in Brazil.

Abstract:

Rachycentron canadum is an economically important fish in aquaculture due to its resistance to environmental variations, the feasibility of culture in confinement, high growth rates, and good acceptance by consumers. The profitability of their cage culture is negatively affected by the difficulty of implementing monosex cultures due to the apparent similarity between sexes. In this study, morphometric techniques were used to determine sexual dimorphism by analyzing measurements and the fish’s shape. Differences were found between the sexes in the position of the eyes, lips, pectoral fin and ventral fin, and the body’s general shape. The sexing precision of the individuals was 75.4 % with distances and 82.7 % with geometric morphometry.

South Morotai is a part of Morotai Island, an archipelago in eastern Indonesia with high fisheries potential such as fish, sea cucumbers, crabs, shrimp, and algae. Research on fish diversity in South Morotai is needed because there is no sufficient data and information about the potential of Morotai Island marine fisheries. The goal of this research was to collect data on fish species in Morotai, especially South Morotai. This research was conducted by surveys of fish caught by local fishermen in July 2017. Results showed that there were 23 species of fishes belonging to 14 families, with the highest diversity belonging to the Scaridae family (4 species). Serranidae and Acanthuridae each had 3 species identified. Balistidae and Labridae each had 2 species identified. One species was identified from each family of Rachycentridae, Lethrinidae, Lutjanidae, Sphyraenidae, and Mullidae.

Abstract:

The cobia,Rachycentron canadum, a species of marine fish, has been increasingly used in aquaculture worldwide. It is the only member of the family Rachycentridae (Perciformes) showing wide geographic distribution and phylogenetic patterns still not fully understood. In this study, the species was cytogenetically analyzed by different methodologies, including Ag-NOR and chromomycin A3(CMA3)/DAPI staining, C-banding, early replication banding (RGB), andin situfluorescent hybridization with probes for 18S and 5S ribosomal genes and for telomeric sequences (TTAGGG)n. The results obtained allow a detailed chromosomal characterization of the Atlantic population. The chromosome diversification found in the karyotype of the cobia is apparently related to pericentric inversions, the main mechanism associated to the karyotypic evolution of Perciformes. The differential heterochromatin replication patterns found were in part associated to functional genes. Despite maintaining conservative chromosomal characteristics in relation to the basal pattern established for Perciformes, some chromosome pairs in the analyzed population exhibit markers that may be important for cytotaxonomic, population, and biodiversity studies as well as for monitoring the species in question.

Abstract:

A total of 14 specimens of Cobia Rachycentron canadum (L.) were caught from Iraqi marine waters during the period from October 2019 till May 2020. Two parasitic helminths (One species each of nematode and acanthocephalan) were isolated from alimentary canal of the cobia. These are the adults of Iheringascaris inquies (Linton, 1901) Deardorff & Overstreet, 1980 and Serrasentis sagittifer Linton, 1889. The record of these worms, from this fish, is considered as the first record in Iraq. Adequate description of both I. inquies and adult S. sagittifer from cobia for the first time in the Arabian Gulf is given.

Abstract:

AbstractCobia (Rachycentron canadum, Rachycentridae) is one of the prospective species for mariculture. The transcriptome-based study on cobia was hampered by an inadequate reference genome and a lack of full-length cDNAs. We used a long-read based sequencing technology (PacBio Sequel II Iso-Seq3 SMRT) to obtain complete transcriptome sequences from larvae, juveniles, and various tissues of adult cobia, and a single SMRTcell generated 99 gigabytes of data and 51,205,946,694 bases. A total of 8609435, 7441673 and 9140164 subreads were generated from the larval, juvenile, and adult sample pools, with mean sub-read lengths of 2109.9, 1988.2 and 1996.2 bp, respectively. All samples were combined to increase transcript recovery and clustered into 35661 high-quality reads. This is the first report on a full-length transcriptome from R. canadum. Our results illustrate a significant increase in the identified amount of cobia LncRNAs and alternatively spliced transcripts, which will help improve genome annotation. Furthermore, this information will be beneficial for nutrigenomics and functional studies on cobia and other commercially important mariculture species.

Abstract:

Cobia, Rachycentron canadum, is the only species in the family of Rachycentridae. Cobia is typically characterized as having 26–33 dorsal-fin rays. However, an investigation of specimens collected from Western Visayas waters revealed a wider variation in dorsal-fin ray count than previously reported, with some specimens having 35–36 dorsal-fin rays. Suspecting a possible cryptic species, we compared the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequence for specimens with 35–36 dorsal-fin rays with those having the more typical 26–33 dorsal-fin rays. The sequences revealed no genetic differences between the two morphs. Morphometric measurements and meristic counting likewise found no significant differences. This is the first report of phenotypic variability in the dorsal-fin rays in Cobia. As a result of the phenotypic and genotypic characterization presented in this work, fisheries scientists and ichthyologists will be more aware of the existence of phenotypic variability in Cobia.

Abstract:

Abstract The highly fossiliferous St. Marys Formation is exposed along Calvert Cliffs, Maryland, and comprises one of the best available records of late Miocene life in the northeastern United States. Rachycentron stremphaencus new species, a cobia from the late Miocene (Tortonian) of the St. Marys Formation is described herein on the basis of a single three-dimensional neurocranium. This fossil represents the earliest known occurrence of neurocranial remains of the genus Rachycentron in the record. Rachycentron stremphaencus differs from Rachycentron canadum (Linnaeus, 1766) in many ways. The most obvious include a different ornamentation of the outer surface of the cranial bones; a notably pronounced lateral ridge resulting in a considerable gradient from the dorsal-medial exposure of the frontal to its lateralmost supraorbital margin; the size, shape, and position of the sphenotic that is located in the posterior half of the neurocranium and its lateralmost edge being adjacent to the anteriormost extent of the wedge-shaped trough in the dorsal surface of the skull formed by the lateral and medial ridges; the two contralateral medial ridges forming a proportionately much wider trough on either side of the supraoccipital; the epioccipitals not reaching the rear edge of the neurocranium; and the lack of a conspicuous posterolateral prong of the intercalar.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is the only member of the Rachycentridae family and exhibits considerable sexual dimorphism in growth rate. Sex determination in teleosts has been a long-standing basic biological question, and the molecular mechanisms of sex determination/differentiation in cobia are completely unknown. Results Here, we reported 2 high-quality, chromosome-level annotated male and female cobia genomes with assembly sizes of 586.51 Mb (contig/scaffold N50: 86.0 kb/24.3 Mb) and 583.88 Mb (79.9 kb/22.5 Mb), respectively. Synteny inference among perciform genomes revealed that cobia and the remora Echeneis naucrates were sister groups. Further, whole-genome resequencing of 31 males and 60 females, genome-wide association study, and sequencing depth analysis identified 3 short male-specific regions within a 10.7-kb continuous genomic region on male chromosome 18, which hinted at an undifferentiated sex chromosome system with a putative XX/XY mode of sex determination in cobia. Importantly, the only 2 genes within/between the male-specific regions, epoxide hydrolase 1 (ephx1, renamed cephx1y) and transcription factor 24 (tcf24, renamed ctcf24y), showed testis-specific/biased gene expression, whereas their counterparts cephx1x and ctf24x, located in female chromosome 18, were similarly expressed in both sexes. In addition, male-specific PCR targeting the cephx1y gene revealed that this genomic feature is conserved in cobia populations from Panama, Brazil, Australia, and Japan. Conclusion The first comprehensive genomic survey presented here is a valuable resource for future studies on cobia population structure and dynamics, conservation, and evolutionary history. Furthermore, it establishes evidence of putative male heterogametic regions with 2 genes playing a potential role in the sex determination of the species, and it provides further support for the rapid evolution of sex-determining mechanisms in teleost fish.
