Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, specifically relating to the application of an SSR marker detection kit in the genetic characteristic analysis of black sea bream, particularly for genetic characteristic analysis of wild black sea bream populations in the early stage of stock enhancement and release. Background Technology
[0002] Black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii Black sea bream, also known as red snapper, is a nearshore warm-water bottom-dwelling fish with advantages such as rapid growth, wide diet, salt tolerance, wide temperature tolerance, delicious flesh, small range of movement, and strong disease resistance. In recent years, due to overfishing, habitat destruction, and deterioration of the fishery ecological environment, wild black sea bream resources have already suffered severe decline, affecting the sustainability of fishery resources. To restore black sea bream resources and promote the sustainable use of fishery resources, a combination of natural propagation of wild resources and artificial breeding and release of seedlings has become the main restoration measure. However, current black sea bream propagation and release is based on an extensive approach of expanding scale, with propagation goals focusing more on increasing resource quantity and lacking research on the impact of propagation activities on the genetic characteristics of natural germplasm, i.e., ignoring the assessment of genetic risks of propagation and release. This is incompatible with the original intention of fishery resource conservation aimed at population restoration and the requirements of sustainable fishery development goals.
[0003] Numerous studies have shown that due to the limited effective parent population, multiple generations of breeding, origin from different waters, or belonging to different populations, there are usually significant genetic differences between artificially bred seedlings and wild populations. Large-scale stocking and release will disrupt the gene pool of wild populations through hybridization, affecting the expression of local adaptive genomes in wild individuals, altering the genetic composition of the population, reducing the level of genetic variation, and triggering genetic homogenization. This, in turn, reduces the level of genetic differentiation, genetic fitness, and health, leading to a series of genetic risks.
[0004] To reduce genetic risks and maximize the benefits of stock enhancement, some scholars believe that genetic risks should be effectively controlled and assessed from the following two aspects: First, the genetic risks caused by stock enhancement should be assessed at the source. This means conducting a genetic baseline survey of the wild populations of the stocked species, the stocked seedlings, and their breeding parents before stock enhancement, so as to ensure that the genetic background of the stocked population matches the wild population as closely as possible, thereby reducing the negative genetic impact of stock enhancement on the wild population's gene pool. Second, during the stock enhancement process, dynamic monitoring of the genetic risks of stock enhancement should be conducted to assess the impact of the released population on the genetic characteristics of the wild population, and this monitoring should be implemented throughout the entire stock enhancement activity to scientifically guide stock enhancement from a genetic perspective. In summary, effectively controlling and assessing the genetic risks of stock enhancement before and after stock enhancement is essential for the scientific and orderly development of stock enhancement and the effective management of genetic resources. Therefore, conducting genetic characteristic analysis and assessing the genetic risks of stock enhancement for black sea bream before and after stock enhancement is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0032] 4. Fluorescent PCR amplification DNA from six random Zhanjiang samples was amplified by gradient PCR at 52–62 °C using 31 pairs of genotyping primers and the adapter method to determine the optimal amplification conditions and polymorphism of each microsatellite locus for fluorescent PCR.
[0033] The total PCR reaction volume was 10 μL, including: 5.0 μL 2× Taq The PCR Master Mix consists of 0.5 μL of upstream primer at a concentration of 10 pmol / μL, 0.5 μL of downstream primer at a concentration of 10 pmol / μL, 3.0 μL of sterile ultrapure water, and 1.0 μL of DNA template containing approximately 20 ng. The upstream primers include two primers: an upstream primer with an adapter and an adapter primer with a fluorescent group.
[0034] The PCR amplification program was set as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, gradient annealing at 62~52℃ for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 30 s, for 10 cycles; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 52℃ annealing for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 30 s, for 25 cycles; 72℃ end extension for 20 min.
[0035] 5. Fluorescent capillary electrophoresis detection Fluorescent capillary electrophoresis was used to perform typing detection on fluorescent PCR amplification products with high yield and high specificity.
[0036] The genotyping detection system consists of 10 μL, including 1.0 μL of fluorescent PCR product, 0.5 μL of GeneScan™ 500LIZ, and 8.5 μL of Hi-Di™ Formamide.
[0037] The test system was placed on a PCR instrument and denatured at 95°C for 3 minutes, then immediately cooled. Following the instrument operation procedure and SSR analysis detection program, 31 SSR samples were genotyped. GeneMarker software was used to analyze the genotyping results, obtaining the peak diagram, allele count, and genotype for each sample.
[0038] 6. Results of polymorphic primer screening Primer quality was evaluated based on polymorphic information content and fluorescence capillary electrophoresis band detection, and 27 loci and their primers were selected for subsequent population genotyping. The primer evaluation table for the 27 polymorphic microsatellite loci of the black sea bream is detailed in Table 3.
[0039] Table 3 Primer Evaluation Table
[0040] 7. Combination optimization of multiplex fluorescent PCR From 27 SSR loci with good polymorphism, 20 loci with similar primer annealing temperatures were selected. Based on allele intervals and amplification efficiency, four multiplex PCR combinations were formed, and the amplification system was optimized. To effectively reduce band slip, significantly increase polymorphism, minimize non-specific amplification, and improve amplification efficiency and genotyping accuracy, each multiplex PCR combination must include tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexa-base microsatellite loci to construct a balanced and efficient multiplex PCR detection system. FAM, HEX, ROX, or TAMRA fluorescent groups were added to the 5' end of the upstream primer at each locus. Loci with the same fluorescent group must have different allele intervals.
[0041] The four multiplex PCR combinations are as follows: Combination 1: AS5-4, AS6-2, AS6-6, AS4-6, AS5-9, AS6-8, AS3-6, AS4-4, AS3-15, AS3-7, with a primer ratio of 1:1.5:2:2:1:2:3:5:7:7; FAM fluorescent groups are added to the 5' ends of the upstream primers of AS5-4, AS6-2, and AS6-6; HEX fluorescent groups are added to AS4-6, AS5-9, and AS6-8; ROX fluorescent groups are added to AS3-6 and AS4-4; and TAMRA fluorescent groups are added to AS3-15 and AS3-7.
[0042] Combination 2: AS5-4, AS6-2, AS6-6, AS4-6, AS5-9, AS6-8, AS3-6, AS4-4, AS3-15, AS3-7, with a corresponding primer ratio of 1:2:3:3:1:2:4:7:9:8; the addition of fluorescent groups is the same as in combination 1.
[0043] Combination 3: AS3-3, AS5-8, AS6-5, AS3-14, AS4-7, AS6-4, AS5-10, AS5-2, AS5-12, AS6-3; the corresponding primer ratio is 1∶2∶1.5∶1.5∶2∶1∶3∶7∶5∶7; FAM fluorescent groups are added to the 5' ends of the upstream primers of AS3-3, AS5-8, and AS6-5; HEX fluorescent groups are added to AS3-14, AS4-7, and AS6-4; ROX fluorescent groups are added to AS5-10 and AS5-2; and TAMRA fluorescent groups are added to AS5-12 and AS6-3.
[0044] Combination 4: AS3-3, AS5-8, AS6-5, AS3-14, AS4-7, AS6-4, AS5-10, AS5-2, AS5-12, AS6-3; the corresponding primer ratio is 1∶3∶2∶3∶4∶2∶2∶6∶6∶9; the addition of fluorescent groups is the same as in combination 3.
[0045] Multiplex fluorescent PCR amplification was performed on the genomic DNA of four black sea bream collected from Jianghong using upstream and downstream primers with fluorescent groups.
[0046] The total PCR reaction volume was 10 μL, including 5.0 μL of 2× Taq The PCR Master Mix consisted of 0.5 μL of upstream primer at a concentration of 10 pmol / μL, 0.5 μL of downstream primer at a concentration of 10 pmol / μL, 3.0 μL of sterile ultrapure water, and 1.0 μL of DNA template containing approximately 20 ng. The total volume of the 10 upstream primers and 10 downstream primers was 0.5 μL.
[0047] The PCR amplification program was as follows: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, gradient annealing at 62~52℃ for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 30 s, for 10 cycles; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 52℃ annealing for 30 s, extension at 72℃ for 30 s, for 25 cycles; extension at 72℃ for 20 min.
[0048] The PCR products were genotyped and analyzed using the methods described above. Genotyping results showed that none of the four groups of multiplex fluorescent PCR products achieved complete peak elution, and the peaks at some sites were narrow, indicating that the combined sites were not fully amplified or had low amplification efficiency.
[0049] Based on the peak elution results of four multiplex PCR combinations, the primer ratios for each locus in the multiplex fluorescent PCR amplification system were adjusted. After adjustment, two sets of multiplex fluorescent PCR combinations were obtained, as follows: Combination 5: AS5-4, AS6-2, AS6-6, AS4-6, AS5-9, AS6-8, AS3-6, AS4-4, AS3-15, AS3-7, with a primer ratio of 1:2:1:5:1:2:5:7:9:9; the fluorescent group is the same as in combination 1 above.
[0050] Combination 6: AS3-3, AS5-8, AS6-5, AS3-14, AS4-7, AS6-4, AS5-10, AS5-2, AS5-12, AS6-3; the corresponding primer ratio is 2∶3∶2∶4∶6∶2∶4∶6∶6∶6; the addition of fluorescent groups is the same as in combination 3.
[0051] Based on the adjusted two sets of multiplex fluorescent PCR combinations, genomic DNA from 30 black seabream samples collected from Zhanjiang and Jianghong was amplified by multiplex fluorescent PCR. The PCR amplification procedure and genotyping method were the same as above. The genotyping results of the 30 samples showed that compared with the first multiplex PCR combination, the peak sites and signals of this combination increased, but the AS6-2 site in combination 1 failed to produce a peak, and the peak shape of some sites was still relatively narrow.
[0052] Based on the genotyping results of 30 samples, the primer ratios for each locus in the two sets of multiplex fluorescent PCR were optimized again, and multiplex fluorescent PCR amplification was performed again on the genomic DNA of the 30 black sea bream. The PCR amplification procedure and genotyping detection method were the same as above. The optimized combination is as follows: Combination 7: AS5-4, AS6-2, AS6-6, AS4-6, AS5-9, AS6-8, AS3-6, AS4-4, AS3-15, AS3-7, with a primer ratio of 3:5:3:3:2:2:5:7:9:9; the fluorescent group is the same as in combination 1 above.
[0053] Combination 8: AS3-3, AS5-8, AS6-5, AS3-14, AS4-7, AS6-4, AS5-10, AS5-2, AS5-12, AS6-3; the corresponding primer ratio is 1∶2∶1∶3∶2∶2∶2∶6∶8∶9; the addition of fluorescent groups is the same as in combination 3.
[0054] The genotyping results of 30 samples showed that in multiplex fluorescent PCR combination 1, all 9 sites successfully emitted peaks, and the genotyping spectrum was clear and had high resolution, which could accurately interpret the genotyping results. However, the AS6-2 site failed to emit a peak, so the AS6-2 site was removed. In multiplex fluorescent PCR combination 2, all 10 sites successfully emitted peaks, and the genotyping spectrum was clear and had high resolution, which could accurately interpret the genotyping results.
[0055] In summary, this invention successfully constructed two sets of multiplex fluorescent PCR combinations with high amplification efficiency and good peak quality. Both sets of multiplex fluorescent PCR combinations have numerous combination sites, all of which are polymorphic three- to six-base repeat microsatellites. The primer design is reasonable, with no non-specific amplification. After multiple optimizations, each PCR reaction can be performed in parallel without interference within the same system, effectively amplifying the target fragment. Details of the nine-fold and ten-fold fluorescent PCR amplification systems are shown in Table 4. The peak diagrams for nine-fold fluorescent PCR genotyping detection of the samples are shown below. Figures 1-9 The peak diagram for the deca-symbol fluorescence PCR genotyping detection is shown below. Figures 10-19 It should be noted that this invention only uses the genotyping peak diagram of one sample to illustrate the effect.
[0056] Table 4. Nine-fold and ten-fold fluorescent PCR amplification systems
[0057] Comparative Example 1. Nine-fold fluorescent PCR To validate the nine-fold fluorescent PCR combination, primer pairs 1-4 in the nine-fold PCR combination were replaced with other high-quality primer pairs. The specific replacement scheme is as follows:
[0058] (1) Four pairs of primers at four sites were randomly replaced. The replacement sites were AS3-6, AS3-7, AS4-6 and AS6-6.

[0060] (3) Randomly replace one primer at one site, and the replacement site is AS3-6, AS3-7, AS4-6 or AS6-6.
[0061] Prepare the PCR amplification system according to Table 4, and perform PCR amplification and capillary electrophoresis as described above. The results showed that after primer replacement, some or all sites in the nine-fold fluorescent PCR could not be successfully amplified. Figures 20-31 .
[0062] 2. Decadal fluorescent PCR To validate the ten-fold fluorescent PCR combination, primer pairs 1-4 in the ten-fold combination were replaced with other high-quality primer pairs. The specific replacement scheme is as follows:
[0063] (1) Four pairs of primers at four sites were randomly replaced. The sites replaced were AS3-14, AS5-2, AS5-8 and AS6-3.
[0064] (2) Replace the three pairs of primers at three sites randomly: First, replace the three pairs of primers at sites AS5-2, AS5-8 and AS6-3; Second, replace the three pairs of primers at sites AS3-14, AS5-8 and AS6-3; Third, replace the three pairs of primers at sites AS3-14, AS5-2 and AS6-3; Fourth, replace the three pairs of primers at sites AS3-14, AS5-2 and AS5-8.
[0065] (3) Randomly replace one primer at one site, and the replacement site is AS3-14, AS5-2, AS5-8 or AS6-3.
[0066] Prepare the PCR amplification system according to Table 4, and perform PCR amplification and capillary electrophoresis as described above. Results showed that after primer replacement, some or all sites in the deca-fold fluorescent PCR could not be successfully amplified. (See Table 4 for details.) Figures 32-43 .
[0067] This invention successfully screened out balanced and efficient nine-fold and ten-fold fluorescent PCR combinations, which can provide efficient, accurate and low-cost detection methods for the genetic characteristic analysis of black sea bream, and can provide strong technical support for the construction of a comprehensive assessment system for the genetic risk of black sea bream breeding and release. It has important significance in both scientific theory and fishery production practice.
[0068] Experimental Example Genetic baseline characteristics of wild black sea bream populations prior to stock enhancement and release 1. Sample collection In the spring of 2024, prior to the release of new fish, 30 wild black seabream samples were collected from the coastal waters of Jianghong, Guangxi and Zhanjiang, Guangdong, where the release was planned. After morphological identification, the dorsal muscle tissue was placed in a 95% alcohol solution and stored at -20°C for subsequent experiments.
