  • Thamnaconus modestus, distributed in the Northwest Pacific, has high economic value and is used in various seafood. In this study, the morphological and genetic characteristics of T. modestus and T. septentrionalis were compared and analyzed. We observed the external and internal morphology of T. modestus, sketched skeletal elements, and analyzed phylogenetic evolutionary relationships using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene on mitochondrial DNA compared to T. septentrionalis. The T. modestus observed in this study had blackish-brown patterns irregularly scattered on the gray-brown body, and the fins were blue-green. Genetic analysis results based on the COI sequences of T. modestus showed seven types of base sequence variation; however, the homology was more than 98.8%. In addition, as a result of comparison of the COI nucleotide sequences and phylogenetic analysis in Tetraodontiformes, two T. septentrionalis sequences (JN813099, MW485059) were similar to T. modestus with 99% homology, and the other two T. septentrionalis sequences (EF607583, KP267619) were similar to those of species belonging to another genus Thamnaconus with 95% homology with T. modestus. It was not easy to classify the species based on morphological characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis between T. modestus and T. septentrionalis confirmed the difference in classification. These results provide the external and internal morphology of T. modestus and will be used as important information for the taxonomic study of T. modestus and T. septentrionalis.

  • Barbel steed (Hemibarbus labeo) is a small freshwater fish species as semi-bottom dwellers distributed in eastern Asia. We carried out characterization of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene from the mitochondrial DNA of H. labeo in the Sumjin River to identify the phylogenetic location of H. labeo in the genus Hemibarbus and Cyprinidae. Multiple alignment of the 577 bp COI sequence revealed high sequence homology (99~100%) between Seomjin River H. labeo. The nucleotide sequence similarity between H. labeo (HD1) and H. mylodon was 88.91% and that of H. longirostis was 88.81% among the three species found in Korea. In addition, the nucleotide sequence similarities of H. maculatus, H. meditus, H. umbrifer and H. barbus showed 98.97%, 97.20%, 96.87% and 98.85%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis on seven species of the genus Hemibarbus showed that the H. labeo collected in this study formed two clades. One of which consisted of Hadong, Imsil, Kangjin. The other one formed a step with HD2, HD8 and HD9 of Hadong and the H. labeo reported in Busan, Asan and Seoul, Korea. Phylogenetic position of the H. labeo among Cyprinidae showed 0.143 for the evolutionary distance from Zacco platypus and 0.006 for the H. maculatus. In addition, the genetic position of the H. labeo among 28 species of Cyprinidae was found to be located in Group I, including Gobioninae fishes. The results of this study will provide key genetic information for the taxonomic comparison in Cyprinidae and study of model fish for pollution monitoring in freshwater environments.

  • Seaweeds represent a widely harnessed marine resource that are valued for their abundant supply of essential nutrients, particularly proteins and amino acids. In Korea, where over 500 species of seaweed thrive and more than 50 are utilized for culinary purposes, seaweed has become a staple in regular diets. In this study, we focused on five of the most commonly consumed seaweed species in Korea: Capsosiphon fulvescens, Hizikia fusiforme, Porphyra yezoensis, Saccharina japonica, and Undaria pinnatifida. We closely examined the amino acid compositions of these five species. High-performance liquid chromatography showed that aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, and leucine were the most abundant amino acids in the seaweeds. Principal component analysis revealed that the five seaweed species could be classified into three clusters according to their amino acid composition, partially corroborating findings from the phylogenetic analysis. Among various amino acids, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and alanine were the primary amino acids driving differentiation. Notably, U. pinnatifida and C. fulvescens, which demonstrated close phylogenetic proximity, exhibited remarkably similar amino acid profiles. Conversely, although P. yezoensis and S. japonica shared a phylogenetic relationship, they displayed distinctly different amino acid compositions. H. fusiforme emerged as a distinct group in both analyses.
