Abstract

Pseudorasbora pumila pumila was collected to investigate its genetic relationships from 11 localities in Hokkaido and eastern Honshu of Japan with Pseudorasbora parva from 6 localities in Hokkaido, eastern Honshu, and Polovynka River (a tributary of the Amur River in eastern Russia) in 1996–1998. In Hokkaido and Akita prefectures (Honshu), three P. pumila pumila populations were distributed with P. parva sympatrically. Samples of P. pumila pumila and P. parva were analyzed based on 27 allozyme loci. Genetic differentiation between P. pumila pumila and P. parva (D = 0.522–0.622, average 0.601) was almost equal to or greater than that between other congeneric fish species previously reported. In the three sympatric populations of two species, which had arisen from artificial transplantation of the latter into localities of the former, the individual frequency composition of genetic types (P. pumila pumila, P. parva, F1 hybrid, and later filial generation hybrid) were significantly different from each other. Differing from the previous studies, F1 hybrids were fertile and coexisting populations of the two species included the F1 hybrid and the later filial generation hybrid. These results suggest that genetic population dynamics of sympatric populations of the two species would be influenced not only by hybridization but also by ecological and environmental factors. Alternatively, the existence of populations that possessed both the alleles specific to P. pumila pumila and those specific to P. parva may indicate that introgressive hybridization, instead of species displacement, has occurred between the two species under a certain condition.
