Phylogenetic analysis and chemical composition of sinipercid fishes from the Northern mountainous area of Vietnam
Le Minh Chau, Ho Thi Bich Ngoc, Vu Thi Hanhorcid
Abstract: The sinipercids are freshwater fishes endemic to East Asia, mainly in China, bordering Vietnam. Phylogenetic studies of the sinipercid species have made great progress over the past decades in the world, but there is no published record of exactly how many species are present in Vietnam. This study aimed to identify species belonging to the sinipercids in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam by molecular biology method. In addition, we analyzed chemical composition of the species collected in Vietnam, which is the basic information for the development of this species' farming. The results of species identified by molecular markers of 45 samples of the sinipercids obtained showed that 25/45 samples (55.6%) were Siniperca knerii species, and 20/45 samples (44.4%) were Siniperca chuatsi species. The results of the chemical composition of these species showed that they contained all essential amino acids. Lipids and proteins were the main source of these species, in addition, they were rich in omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. This study confirmed that there are two species, S. chuatsi and S. knerii, belonging to the genus Siniperca in Vietnam. Preliminary investigations also provided useful information on the basic chemical composition of the sinipercid fishes for development and promotion of aquaculture.
