The systematics and molecular phylogenetic analyses of Mudskippers and Eel gobies(Perciformes: Gobiidae) from Taiwan / 臺灣產鰕虎科之彈塗魚與鰻鰕虎魚類之形態分類與分子親緣關係之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 102 / The mudskippers and eel gobies are living in mangroves, estuaries, lagoon as well as the coastal waters with sandy to muddy substratum. In Taiwan, the species diversity of this group has been revised at least consisting of 9 genera and 10 valid species. These two kinds of gobies are divided into two subfamilies of Oxudercinae and Amblyopinae currently. However, the further to detect and research for phylogenetic relationship of this group and advise these two subfamilies belong to one subfamily of Oxudercinae.
The head lateral-line system of this group have been reexamined and checked in detail for those main taxa. All members of fish genera represent as the loss of any head canal system except Apocryptodon punctatus, Boleophthalmus pectinirostris, Scartelaos histophorus and Oxuderces dentatus with reduced anterior oculoscapular canal system of three pores. In the osteology, these two kinds of gobies have the small palatine separated with Quadrate in the suspensorium and they lack the scapula in the pectoral fin girdles.
This research for phylogenetic approach has been employed mitochondrial 12sRNA, 16s RNA, CO1 and complete mitochondrial DNA sequence. In nuclear gene we employed the partial sequences of zic member family 1, myosin, heavy polypeptide 6 sequences, Ryanodine receptor 3-like protein, SH3 and PX domain-containing 3-like protein. Our survey for this group has found that there is no well separation for both groups in the nuclear genes. However, in the complete mitochondrial gene show the group of eel gobies is belong inside one clade of the mudskipper. According to phylogenetic result from mitochondrial DNA sequences, both groups can be considered as a single subfamily Oxudercinae with a series of support from morphological features.
