Population genetics (DNA) of the prawn Penaeus monodon in Australian waters

A study of the population genetics of the prawn Penaeus monodon in northern and eastern Australian waters. Mitochondrial D-loop DNA (and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism - RFLP) were used to estimate connectivity and dispersal between populations which range through locations in Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. Statistical analyses and clustering procedures were carried out.Collection of samples were from 6 locations throughout the species range in Australia: Townsville, Cairns, Weipa, Melville Island, Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, De Grey River.Some comparison was made with Indonesian and South African samples, see separate metadata record.Microsatellite markers were used in a further study of genetic variation among the Australian populations above. To estimate connectivity and dispersal between Penaeus monodon populations in northern and eastern Australia.To compare results with genetic analyses using allozymes. Separate metadata records apply for data relating to the genetic analyses using allozymes of Penaeus monodon from Australian waters and South Africa.针对澳大利亚北部及东部海域斑节对虾（Penaeus monodon）的种群遗传学研究。本研究采用线粒体D-loop DNA（限制性片段长度多态性（Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, RFLP）），对分布于西澳大利亚州、北领地、昆士兰州及新南威尔士州的种群间连通性与扩散模式进行评估。研究开展了统计学分析与聚类分析流程。本次研究的样本采集自澳大利亚该物种分布范围内的6个采样位点：汤斯维尔、凯恩斯、韦帕、梅尔维尔岛、约瑟夫·波拿巴湾以及德格雷河。本研究同时与印度尼西亚及南非的样本开展了部分对比分析，相关信息详见独立元数据记录。后续研究采用微卫星标记，对上述澳大利亚种群的遗传变异展开进一步分析，以评估澳大利亚北部及东部海域斑节对虾种群间的连通性与扩散模式，并将分析结果与同工酶遗传分析结果进行对比。针对澳大利亚海域及南非斑节对虾的同工酶遗传分析相关数据，另有独立元数据记录。
