Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences that include (a) a part of the cytochrome b gene, (b) two tRNA genes, and (c) a part of the noncoding D-loop region of 31 Anguilla japonica (Japanese eel) and 1 A. marmorata collected from Taiwan, Japan, and mainland China were determined to evaluate the population structure of Japanese eel. Among 30 genotypes identified from the 31 Japanese eel mtDNAs sequenced, there are 58 variable sites, predominantly clustered at the D-loop region. The phylogenetic tree…

Population structure of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica as examined by mitochondrial DNA sequencing
TLDR
Although all DNA sequences from the present study were different from one another, two sequences were found to be the same with those reported from individuals collected in different localities in different years, suggesting no genetic heterogeneity among samples.
Genetic evidence for panmixia of Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) populations in China.
TLDR
The results suggest a panmictic population of Japanese eels in China, which should be conserved as a single management unit.
Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica
TLDR
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome for the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica was determined using a long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, and the products were subsequently used as templates for PCR with 60 fish-versatile and six species-specific primers that amplify contiguous, overlapping segments of the entire genome.
A study of genetic variations, population size, and population dynamics of the catadromous Japanese eel Anguilla japonica (Pisces) in northern Taiwan
TLDR
Results of this study imply the Japanese eel has a complex life history, and the temporal structure of Japanese eels should be continually monitored in the future.
Genetic variation in the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA of the Japanese conger Conger myriaster.
TLDR
To elucidate the subtle structure of populations, if any, many more individuals from more localities should be examined in detail, and the genetic variations detected in the present study would serve as useful molecular markers for such studies.
A new resource of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica derived from restriction site-associated DNA
TLDR
A catalogue of SNPs constructed in the present study, in which the positions of SNP sites within RAD loci and the scaffolds in the reference genome are provided, will be of great use for advancing ecological and breeding studies in A. japonica.
Erratum to: A new resource of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica derived from restriction site-associated DNA
TLDR
A catalogue of SNPs constructed in the present study, in which the positions of SNP sites within RAD loci and the scaffolds in the reference genome are provided, will be of great use for advancing ecological and breeding studies in A. japonica.
Foreign Eel Species in the Natural Waters of Japan Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction of Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Region
Species identification of 1,048 eel individuals, collected in the natural waters of middle and western Japan from August 1997 to February 1998, has been performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)…
Whole-Genome Sequencing of 84 Japanese Eels Reveals Evidence against Panmixia and Support for Sympatric Speciation
TLDR
It is proposed that the combination of spawning area subdivision, philopatry, and habitat preference/avoidance accounts for the non-panmixia in the Japanese eel population, and is named the “reproductive isolation like subset mapping” (RISM) model.
Molecular phylogeny and genetic diversity of freshwater anguilla eels in indonesian waters based on mitochondrial sequences
TLDR
The complete mtdnA sequence of all eel taxa produced a comprehensive phylogeny and successfully resolved controversial topologies, while confirming A. mossambica as being the basal species.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the Crossostoma lacustre mitochondrial genome: conservation and variations among vertebrates.
TLDR
The complete mitochondrial genome of Crossostoma lacustre, a freshwater loach from mountain stream of Taiwan, has been cloned and sequenced and provides evidence for the first time for the conservation of genetic information in the fish mitochondrial genome, especially among the vertebrates.
Electrophoretic evidence for two species of Anguilla leptocephali in the Sargasso Sea
TLDR
The observed genotype distribution and allele frequencies definitely confirm the presence of two species of Anguilla leptocephali in the spawning zone of the Sargasso Sea.
Mitochondrial DNA differentiation in North Atlantic eels: Population genetic consequences of an unusual life history pattern.
TLDR
A survey of restriction site polymorphism in the mitochondrial DNA of the American eel Anguilla rostrata showed no genetic divergence among samples from a 4000-km stretch of North America coastline, contradicting some previous suggestions that the two forms belong to the same panmictic population.
Evolution of the cetacean mitochondrial D-loop region.
TLDR
It is concluded that DNA slippage, in addition to point mutation, contributes to the evolution of the D-loop and that regions of conserved secondary structure in cetaceans and an ORF are unlikely to contribute significantly to the conservation of the central region.

Influence of seasonal migration on geographic distribution of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes in humpback whales
TLDR
A marked segregation of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes among subpopulations as well as between the two oceans is reported, interpreted to be the consequence of maternally directed fidelity to migratory destinations.
Dynamics of mitochondrial DNA evolution in animals: amplification and sequencing with conserved primers.
TLDR
The polymerase chain reaction is used to amplify homologous segments of mtDNA from more than 100 animal species, including mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and some invertebrates, and the unexpectedly wide taxonomic utility of these primers offers opportunities for phylogenetic and population research.
Evolutionary relationship of DNA sequences in finite populations.
TLDR
These studies indicate that the estimates of the average number of nucleotide differences and nucleon diversity have a large variance, and a large part of this variance is due to stochastic factors.
Genetic structure of Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico populations of sea bass, menhaden, and sturgeon: Influence of zoogeographic factors and life-history patterns
TLDR
Comparisons of phylogeographic patterns of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were compared between disjunct Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico populations in three coastal marine fishes whose juveniles require an estuarine or freshwater habitat for development to assess the influence of zoogeographic factors and life-history parameters.
Gene flow and the geographic structure of natural populations.
TLDR
Of particular interest are those species for which direct methods indicate little current gene flow but indirect methods indicate much higher levels of gene flow in the recent past, and whose species probably have undergone large-scale demographic changes relatively frequently.
