BI3063 H10 J. Mork ATLANTIC COD Both with respect to potential harmful genetic effects on fish stocks from human activities, and the available management tools for remedying the situation, Hallerman mostly use examples from salmonids, and in particular anadromous Pacific salmonids. Among the targeted human activities, the fish farming industry and its effects has atracted particular attention. The Danish population geneticist Dorte Bekkevold and collegues (Bekkevold et al. 2005) argue that the problems encountered in salmonid farming apply to cod farming as well (cf next slide).

BI3063 H10 J. Mork ATLANTIC COD In the following, we shall explore various aspects of cod and gadoid genetics which have a bearing on whether these species are vulnerable to various human activities (wild stock exploitation, introgression by escaped farmed fish) in a way similar to the salmon.

Mork ATLANTIC COD • Genetic effects from ranching; lessons come mainly from salmonid farming/ranching: • Changes in genetic composition of farmed stock over time • Agents: • Random genetic drift • Domestication selection (no predators, excess food, vaccines) • Selection for performance traits reduces genetic variability • Mating of close relatives • Effects: • Reduced genetic variability • Reduced shyness • Loss of natural adaptivity • Harmful inbreeding effects

Case studies in cod BI3063 H10 J. Mork ATLANTIC COD Deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and temporal instability in allele frequencies at microsatellite loci in a local population of Atlantic cod S. Karlsson & J. Mork Abstract: A total of 1455 spawning cod, sampled from a local spawningarea in Trondheimsfjord (Norway) between 1985 and 2002, wasscreened at the microsatellite loci Gmo132 and Gmo2. Samplesfrom 15 spawning years comprising 29 consecutive cohorts wereanalysed. At the Gmo132 locus, but not at Gmo2, allele frequenciesvaried significantly among sampling years as well as cohorts,corresponding to FST-values of 0.004 and 0.006, respectively.Both loci showed examples of significant deviations from Hardy–Weinbergexpectation within sampling years as well as cohorts, manifestedas deficiencies of heterozygotes. Combining the p-values fromthe single tests (Fisher's method) revealed an overall significantp-value for deviation from the Hardy–Weinberg expectationsat Gmo132 but not at Gmo2. Trend tests showed significant HWdeficiencies at both loci for annual samples but not for cohorts.Possible reasons for the deficiencies were discussed; interalia the existence of null alleles, or a form of pseudo Wahlundeffect due to a patchy distribution of habitats for settlingO-group cod in the Trondheimsfjord. It was noted that theremight be a relationship between the relatively high temporalwithin-population variability of allele frequencies at Gmo132and the fact that among microsatellite loci studied so far,Gmo132 is the one that usuallyshows the highest genetic differentiationgeographically in cod.
Case studies in cod BI3063 H10 J. Mork ATLANTIC COD Evidence of microsatellite hitch-hiking selection in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.): implications for inferring population structure in nonmodel organisms Nielsen, E.E., Hansen, M.M. & Meldrup, D. Abstract: Microsatellites have gained wide application for elucidating population structure in nonmodel organisms. Since they are generally noncoding, neutrality is assumed but rarely tested. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.), microsatellite studies have revealed highly heterogeneous estimates of genetic differentiation among loci. In particular one locus, Gmo 132, has demonstrated elevated genetic differentiation. We investigated possible hitch-hiking selection at this and other microsatellite loci in Atlantic cod. We employed 11 loci for analysing samples from the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Barents Sea and Newfoundland covering a large part of the species' distributional range. The 'classical' Lewontin–Krakauer test for selection based on variance in estimates of FST and (standardized genetic differentiation) revealed only one significant pairwise test (North Sea–Barents Sea), and the source of the elevated variance could not be ascribed exclusively to Gmo 132. In contrast, different variants of the recently developed ln Rθ test for selective sweeps at microsatellite loci revealed a high number of significant outcomes of pair-wise tests for Gmo 132. Further, the presence of selection was indicated in at least one other locus. The results suggest that many previous estimates of genetic differentiation in cod based on microsatellites are inflated, and in some cases relationships among populations are obscured by one or more loci being the subject to hitch-hiking selection. Likewise, temporal estimates of effective population sizes in Atlantic cod may be flawed. We recommend, generally, to use a higher number of microsatellite loci to elucidate population structure in marine fishes and other nonmodel species to allow for identification of outlier loci that are subject to selection.

Mork ATLANTIC COD Historical analysis of Pan I in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): temporal stability of allele frequencies in the southeastern part of the species distribution Nielsen, E. E.; MacKenzie, B.R.; Magnussen, E. & Meldrup, D. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Volume 64, Number 10, 1 October 2007 , pp. 1448-1455(8) Abstract: We investigated temporal genetic differentiation at the pantophysin (Pan I) locus in four Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations from the southeastern part of the species distribution: the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Faroe Plateau, and the Faroe Bank. Historical otolith collections enabled investigation of allele frequency variation over time periods up to 69 years employing Pan I primers specifically designed for partially degraded DNA. Small and nonsignificant temporal changes in Pan I allele frequencies were observed in the four populations. Simultaneous microsatellite analysis revealed similar temporal genetic stability with temporal FST values ranging from 0 to 0.006, suggesting limited demographic changes. Sea surface temperature, which has been suggested as the primary driver for the geographical distribution of Pan I alleles in cod, showed no long-term trend although temperature has increased since the mid-1990s. Our study demonstrates that populations in the southeastern part of the species range has been characterized by very high frequencies of the Pan IA allele for many decades, and accordingly, Pan I serves as a reliable marker for genetic stock identification on a macrogeographical scale.

Mork POOR COD VNTR variability in Atlantic poor cod (Trisopterus minutus minutus) throughout its range: single locus minisatellite data suggest reproductive isolation for the Faroe Bank population Mattiangeli, V., Galvin, P., Ryan, A., Mork, J., & Cross, T. Abstract Nine samples of Atlantic poor cod, Trisopterus minutus minutus, collected from the Bay of Biscay to Trondheimsfjord, Norway, were analysed using three minisatellite DNA loci, amplified using PCR and screened with an automated sequencer. One locus was found to be polymorphic. FST analysis using the polymorphic locus indicated that 2.2% of the total genetic diversity detected was due to differences among samples (FST = 0.022; P < 0.001). The only significant pair-wise heterogeneity was found between the Faroe Bank and each of the other samples. This is consistent with previous analyses of the same samples using 11 polymorphic allozyme loci. Journal: Fisheries research ISSN 0165-7836

Gadoid phylogeny BI3063 H10 J. Mork Allozymes Marianne Giæver at Trondhjem Biological Station wrote her doctoral Thesis on the genetic differentiation in three gadoid species; cod, haddock, and blue whiting. One of the main conclusions was that in all the species, the genetic differentiation appeares to be caused by "Isolation by distance". Typically, it was the populations at the fringes of the species' range that were the genetically most divergent. This is consistent with the meta-population concept.
Gadoid phylogeny BI3063 H10 J. Mork Summing up With respect to genetic stock management, the above treatment of genetic studies and considerations suggest that the gadoids are more resilient than anadromous salmonids to some human activities (e.g. over-exploitation, genetic introgression by farmed fish escapes, and disease transfer from captive stocks). This is not to say that gadoids are immune to effects from over-exploitation and mis-management. Probably, many species and populations are more vulnerable in times of climate changes, like the situation is today. There is still every reason to conduct stock management by the pre-cautionary principle, with respect to biological as well as genetic and evolutionary hazards.
