Abstract
The so-iny mullet (Planiliza haematocheilus) is a coastal marine fish harvested commercially in Thailand. Over the past ten years, the volume of so-iny mullet catches has decreased. As a result, genetic information is required to create an effective sustainable management plan. Our study examined the genetic structure of the so-iny mullet population along the coast of Thailand. One hundred sixty-four samples were caught from nine fishing sites along the Thai coast: southern Thailand (Nakhon Si Thammarat, Pattani, Satun, Krabi, and Phang Nga), western upper Gulf of Thailand (Samut Songkram and Petchburi), and eastern upper Gulf of Thailand (Trat and Rayong). Genetic variation was examined in the partial nucleotide sequence of the control region in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA CR) (550–556 base pairs), and 44 haplotypes were found. Unique haplotypes were observed in all of the populations studied; in some populations there were several, implying that there is a large female effective population size. Population genetic structure analysis revealed differences among samples from southern Thailand, the western upper Gulf of Thailand, and the eastern upper Gulf of Thailand. In conclusion, we suggest that migration behavior as well as geographical distance between so-iny mullet habitats shaped the genetic structure of the populations in Thailand. Our findings can help guide so-iny mullet management in Thailand.
