Paralichthys olivaceus is a warm-temperature benthic species distributed in the western Pacific Ocean from the Kuril Islands, Japan to the South China Sea. In the present study AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) marker was employed to examine the genetic differences between cultured and wild populations of P. olivaceus. The results showed that the gene diversity and Shannon's information index of cultured populations (h ¼ 0.130e0.150; I ¼ 0.201e0.236) were similar with wild populations (h ¼ 0.123e0.136; I ¼ 0.199e0.220). Pairwise Fst and AMOVA revealed significant genetic differentiation among them, indicating cultured populations exhibited distinctive heterogeneity with wild populations. The results of present study suggested that broods of this study should not be released into natural sea areas due to its genetic alterations. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, is a benthic and economical flatfish in the family Bothidae, which distributes throughout the western Pacific Ocean from the Kuril Islands, Japan to the South China Sea (Li and Wang, 1995; Masuda and Tsukamoto, 1998). This species is endemic to the western Pacific Ocean, and is the most common flatfish species raised in China, Japan and Korea due to its rapid growth, delicious quality and good adaptability. With the heavy exploitation of the fishery resource, market landings of P. olivaceus began to decline since 1970 s, while the aquaculture productions have shown a trend of sustained growth since 1980 s, exceeding fishing productions (FAO, 2008). In order to protect and recover the natural population of P. olivaceus, more and more cultured individuals has been released into sea areas (Tomiyama et al., 2008). In Shandong Province of China, the number of released individuals varied from less than 200,000 individuals at 2005 to more than 18,000,000 individuals at 2014. Some studies have proved that hatchery-reared individuals may have a negative effect on the variability of recipient wild populations (Goodman, 2005; Jonsson and Jonsson, 2006). Hatchery-reared individuals may compete for food, space with native, and even spread parasites and diseases (Jonsson et al., 1991; Bakke et al., 1990; Jonsson and Jonsson, 2006). When hatchery-reared broods are released into nature, their genetic effect on wild populations has also attracted great attention. Reduced genetic diversity of cultured fish has been reported (Kohlmann and Kersten, 1999; Skaala et al., 2004), which can cause a reduction in fitness because mean phenotypes could be shifted by inbreeding (Lynch, 1991). When these hatcheryreared individuals are released into natural waters, they may change the genetic variability of recipient populations

through reproduction behavior (Bert et al., 2007). So, it is very important to monitor the genetic diversity of released broods to avoid the genetic alteration of recipient wild populations. Until now various molecular markers have been successfully applied to survey genetic influence of stock enhancement. For example, Araki et al. (2007) found that even a few generations of domestication may have negative effects on natural reproduction in the wild by reconstructing a three-generation pedigree with microsatellite markers and the results suggested that the repeated use of captive-reared parents to supplement wild populations should be carefully reconsidered. Comparative studies on the genetic differences of Paralichthys olivaceus between cultured and wild population have been conducted by different molecular markers until now. The screening of genetic variations by earlier allozyme markers revealed significant genetic differentiation between wild and cultured-released populations but no reduced genetic diversity were obtained (Liu et al., 1997). However, recent analysis by allozyme markers, mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite DNA have detected obvious reduced genetic diversity of cultured P. olivaceus (Yoshida et al., 2000; You et al., 2001; Sekino et al., 2002). Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis is a PCR-based, muti-locus fingerprinting technique that combines the strengths and overcomes the weaknesses of the RFLP and RAPD methods (Vos et al., 1995). It is an effective molecular maker and widely used to study interspecific genetic diversity because it allows fast and efficient generation of a large amount of genetic data (Wang et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2009). It also has been employed to detect loss of the genetic diversity in cultured populations of various fish species, (Wang et al., 2002). Xu et al. (2006) evaluated the genetic diversity of four wild geographical populations of Japanese flounder by AFLP marker and a certain extent of differentiation among them was detected. Moreover, Zhang et al. (2004) found smaller number of total loci for cultured populations and no genetic differentiation between wild and farmed populations by AFLP marker. In the present study, two wild and four cultured populations were collected from Chinese coastal waters to examine the present population genetic diversity and variability of P. olivaceus. The results of the present study will reveal the genetic structure and diversity of this economically important species and provide vital information for sustainable exploitation, aquaculture and management of its natural populations.

2. Material and methods 2.1. Fish samples Two wild populations (Qw and Ww) were collected from nature waters and four cultured populations were collected from hatchery during December 2007 to April 2009. Moreover, one cultured population Rc was obtained from random sampling of cultured stock for releasing in Rongcheng at May 2008 (Fig. 1 Table 1). All individuals were identified based on morphological characteristics, and a piece of muscle tissue was obtained from each individual and preserved in 95% ethanol or directly extracted from frozen samples.

2.2. Genomic DNA extraction and AFLP method Genomic DNA was isolated from muscle tissue by proteinase K digestion followed by a standard phenolechloroform method. We conducted procedures of AFLP according to methods by Vos et al. (1995) and Wang et al. (2000). All the PCR products were run on 6.0% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for 2.5 h at 50  C on the Sequi-Gen GT Sequencing Cell (Bio-Rad, USA), and finally detected using the silver staining technique modified from Merril et al. (1979). Sequences of AFLP adapters, primers, and four selective primer combinations (EAAC-MCTA, EAGA-MCAA, EAGA- MCTA and EAAC-MCTC) used in the present study are listed in Table 2. 2.3. Data analysis All clear and unambiguous AFLP bands were scored for presence (1) or absence (0), and transformed into 0/1 binary character matrix in Microsoft Office Excel. Percentages of polymorphic loci, Nei's genetic diversity and Shannon diversity index were calculated by POPGENE Version 1.32. Similarity indices among individuals were calculated according to the formula S ¼ 2Nab/(Na þ Nb) (Nei and Li, 1979), where Na and Nb are the number of bands in individual a and b respectively, and Nab is the number of shared bands. Genetic distances were computed using the formula D ¼ -ln S (Nei and Li, 1979). ARLEQUIN version 3.0 was used to calculate pairwise fixation index Fst between pairs of population samples and the significance of the Fst was tested by 10,000 permutations for each pairwise comparison (Excoffier et al., 2005). When multiple comparisons were performed, P values were adjusted using the sequential Bonferroni procedure (Rice, 1989). To further examine hierarchical population structure as well as the geographical pattern of population subdivision, we used analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) (Excoffier et al., 1992). 3. Results All clear and unambiguous bands were plotted in the Microsoft Office Excel. A total of 304 bands were identified by 4 selective primer combinations for 88 individuals, of which 208 loci were polymorphic loci (Table 1). The number of bands generated for each primer combinations varied from 54 to 101, and percentage of polymorphic loci varied from 59.04% to 77.27%, respectively (Table 3). The primer combination EAGA/MCTA generated the most bands and the percentage of polymorphic loci of EAAC/MCTC was the highest. For 6 populations, the number of generated bands ranged from 221 to 258, and percentage of polymorphic loci for each population ranged from 46.15% to 58.91%, respectively. The wild population Ww obtained the most loci and percentage of polymorphic loci. The results exhibited that no obvious differences for genetic diversity were obtained. Assuming HardyeWeinberg equilibrium, population Zs showed highest Nei's genetic diversity

(0.236 ± 0.253) and population Qw showed highest Shannon’ s information index (1.589 ± 0.493), while the wild population Qw showed the lowest Nei's genetic diversity (0.199 ± 0.234) and population Rz showed lowest Shannon’ s information index (1.462 ± 0.500). We constructed UPGMA tree based on Nei's genetic distance for 88 individuals (Fig. 2). The topology of the UPGMA tree was shallow and all individuals of 6 populations mixed with each other. Some small branches corresponding to different locations were detected, which suggested genetic differences among populations. The results of AMOVA indicated that 86.71% of the genetic variation existed within populations and 13.29% among populations when all six populations were pooled into one group (Table 4). Two groups were defined to do further AMOVA analysis. Four cultured populations were pooled to one group, and two wild populations were pooled to another group. The results showed that genetic variation among groups was only 0.81% and within populations was 86.38%. Most of the pairwise Fst values were high and significant after sequential Bonferroni correction, and pairwise Fst between two wild populations was lowest (Table 5). 4. Discussions Many studies showed that amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were effective to study genetic diversity of many marine fishes (Liu et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2014), and it is also widely used in the genetic comparative analysis

between wild and cultured populations (Wang et al., 2007). In the present study, four selective amplification primers were used to access the genetic status of P. olivaceus. A total of 304 bands were identified and the percentage of polymorphic loci was 68.42%. Zhang et al. 2004 generated 797 bands by 7 selective amplification primers and the percentage of polymorphic loci was lower than that of the present study. However, the gene diversity and Shannon's information index exhibited no obvious difference for six populations between the wild and cultured populations in this study, which was in contrast with Zhang et al. (2004). Moreover, for the same samples in the present study, Song et al. (2011) detect reduced genetic diversity of cultured population by mitochondrial DNA. It is not surprising because the same situation has been reported in striped mullet (Liu et al., 2009), spottedtail goby (Song et al., 2010). Mitochondrial DNA is haploid, maternally inherited, lack of recombination and has a fourfold lower effective population size (Domingues et al., 2007). Although population Zs had the higher diversity in the present study, its proportion of polymorphic loci was not highest. It is very important to use some more sensitive molecular markers to do further genetic analysis for P. olivaceus. In the present study, high pairwise Fst between wild and cultured populations suggested strong genetic differentiation among them. Cultured populations exhibited different genetic structure, which may be due to isolated farm-propagation. High genetic variation within populations may lead to failure to detect genetic differentiation among groups. In most cases, genetic changes for broods were inevitable because smaller numbers of broodstocks were used in the hatchery, and sometimes they even were used over succeeding generations (Waples and Do, 1994; Bert et al., 2007). Smaller broodstocks may lead to unequal contributions of broodstock individuals to broods and inbreeding in broodstocks (Bert et al., 2007). Genetic drift over generations will accumulate when smaller broodstocks were used in the hatchery, and decrease the fitness of hatchery broods by reducing their genetic variability, changing genetic composition, and increasing genetic load (Calcagnotto and Toledo-Filho, 2000). Compared with genetic differentiation between two wild populations, strong genetic differentiation between cultured and wild populations and among cultured populations suggested genetic alterations of P. olivaceus in these farms. The recipient wild populations may undergo dramatic genetic changes if we released these broods into recipient populations. The released specimens may alter the genetic diversity, decrease the fitness and reduce the effective population size of the mixed populations by some ecological and biological interactions with wild individuals (Bert et al., 2007). Genetic variability is very important for long-term survival of enhanced populations (Lande, 1995), and in the stock enhancement operations maintaining the genetic diversity of broodstocks is the most important for sustainable exploration (Moran, 2002). Actually stock enhancement may not be the best measure for recovering the natural resources because we cannot predict the enhancement effect (Mustafa, 2003), and it should be carried out combined with other protective measures like artificial reefs or habitat conservations (Waples and Drake, 2004). In the present study genetic alterations of cultured populations indicated that we should not release these broods into nature waters. Before we decide to conduct stock enhancement, we must avoid the genetic heterogeneity of broodstocks and its offsprings with recipient populations. Therefore, if we want to recover natural resources and start a stock enhancement program, it is necessary to evaluate the genetic status of P. olivaceus and begin genetic monitoring management.
