Abstract: |
Zooplankton plays vital roles in energy and matter transfer through the system. Here we present the first result of a zooplankton community study in the Jiaozhou Bay based on DNA barcodes. An environmental DNA barcode library was constructed to study zooplankton composition in the Jiaozhou Bay. A total of 149 mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences were determined from the cox1 gene library. The occurrence of 37 OTUs (species) was estimated when the genetic divergence of 6% was adopted as the threshold to separate different species. Based on the results from BLASTn analysis and Bayesian phylogenetic constructions on the DNA barcodes, 19 OTUs, which showed high degrees of similarity (>97%) between the query and database, could be identified to the species level. Compared to the results revealed by DNA barcodes, fewer species would be estimated using microscope analysis on the base of their morphological variations. The merozooplankton species, such as Chthamalus challengeri and Crassostrea gigas, identified by the DNA barcodes here were supposed to be sampled in the dispersal life history phase as pelagic larvae or eggs. Our results highlight the possibility of identifying larvae in the zooplankton samples using the DNA barcoding techniques. In conclusion, fast estimation of zooplankton richness can be achieved by the environmental DNA barcoding approach. |
