摘要:

鳤(Ochetobius elongatus)主要分布于长江流域及其以南的区域, 目前处于极度濒危状态。为探讨不同水域鳤形态学变异情况, 本研究系统分析了长江中下游鳤不同地理群体的多变量形态学特征。基于2022年5月至2024年11月采自长江中下游干流的宜昌和嘉鱼江段、支流汉江的潜江江段、通江湖泊的洞庭湖和鄱阳湖5个群体的98尾鳤样本, 通过整合线性测量和框架结构的33项多变量形态学参数进行分析。结果显示, 长江中下游鳤28项形态学参数(占比84.85%)在群体间存在显著差异, 其中形态变异最大的是躯干部, 其次是头部。长江中下游鳤按照形态度量学特征可聚为3支: 嘉鱼和潜江群体、洞庭湖和鄱阳湖群体、宜昌群体。地理距离与形态变异的正相关性较弱(r = 0.176, P = 0.012), 对形态分化的解释能力有限。逐步判别分析显示, 长江中下游5个群体的综合判别率为74.50%, 其中嘉鱼群体判别准确率最高(95.45%), 宜昌群体最低(25.00%)。本研究揭示了长江中下游5个鳤群体间存在显著的形态变异, 异质性生境的适应性可能是导致鳤形态分化的主要因素。

Abstract

Aims: Ochetobius elongatus is a critically endangered species, which is primarily distributed in the Yangtze River basin and the region south of this river. To investigate morphological variations of O. elongatus, the multivariable morphometrics was used to analyze different populations from the middle and lower Yangtze River.

Methods: Based on a total 98 specimens collected from five sampling localities including the Yangtze River main stem at Yichang and Jiayu sections, the Han River main stem at the Qianjiang section, the Dongting and Poyang lakes from May 2022 to November 2024, 33 morphological measurements of traditional and truss network measurements were integrated for analysis.

Results: Significant differences were detected in 28 morphological measurements (84.85% of the total) among populations of O. elongatus, with the largest variation in the trunk, followed by the head part. The cluster analysis of the morphometric measurements grouped the populations into three distinct clusters: the populations of Jiayu and Qianjiang, the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, and the Yichang population. A weak but significant positive correlation was observed between geographical distance and morphological variation (r = 0.176, P = 0.012), suggesting that geographical distance has limited explanatory for the observed morphological variations. Stepwise discriminant analysis revealed a comprehensive discriminant rate of 74.50%, among which the Jiayu population showed the highest accuracy (95.45%), and the Yichang population was the lowest (25.00%).

Conclusion: This study highlights significant morphological variations among the five populations of O. elongatus from the middle and lower Yangtze River basin, suggesting that adaptation to heterogeneous habitats may be the primary driver factor for these variations.
