Genetic population structure in northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the North Atlantic Guldborg Søvik, Torild Johansen, Jon-Ivar Westgaard, Anne Dagrun Sandvik, Michael Kingsley, Carsten Hvingel, Halvor Knutsen, Knut Jørstad Havforskningsinstituttet Per Erik Jorde Universitetet i Oslo Carl Andre, Ricardo Pereyra Göteborg Universitet 1 1 Background ICES shrimp working group wanted knowledge about the stock structure of shrimp in the North Sea and Skagerrak Three stocks previosly defined based on spatial separation and life history parameters: • Fladen Ground • Farn Deep • Norwegian Deep/Skagerrak 2 2 Project: POPBOREALIS • Investigations extended to the whole North Atlantic. • Two projects: Investigations of population structure in shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the North Atlantic (Norwegian Research Council) Sustainable shrimp fishery in Skagerrak (Interreg IVA) 3 Photo: Ø. Paulsen 3 Goals • 1) Test the population structure of shrimp on a spatial and temporal scale within and between the presently defined management units in the North Sea. – larval drift, migration patterns (source-sink dynamics) – inshore ↔ offshore areas in Skagerrak. • 2) Place the North Sea shrimp in a broader context by comparing with estimated shrimp stock structure in the whole North Atlantic.

Knutsen D Divergence Genetic differences and demographic independence can be demonstrated with modern DNA-technology and used as a tool to identify stock structure 5 5 Distribution of shrimp 6 6 Samples Shrimp samples from colleagues in the ICES shrimp working group and local fishermen 7 7 POPBOREALIS GOM = Gulf of Main; GRB = Grand Banks; FLC = Flemish Cap; LAB = Labrador; HUS = Hudson Strait; WGS/WGN = West Greenland South/North; ICE = Iceland; NDS/NDN = Norwegian Deep South/North; NOM = Norway Mid; BSS/BSC = Barents Sea South/Central; SPW = Spitsbergen West 8 8 Fst-values – measure of genetic difference => estimate the proportion of genetic variation that can be explained by differences between populations. Example: Fst = 0.05 => 5% of the total genetic variation come from between pop. differences. => 95 % come from within pop. differences. This illustrates the large variation within populations. 9 9 MDS-plott 10 10 Isolation by distance 11 11 What other factors (apart from distance) can explain the observed differentiation pattern? Dispersive processes: Random genetic drift Natural selection in heterogeneous environment Mutations (non-recurring) Converging processes: Migration (=gene flow) Natural selection in a common environment Recurrent mutations 12 12 Genetic drift + migration Results of computer simulations of random genetic drift and gene flow among hypothetical isolated and interconnected populations: Interconnected (by gene flow) populations converge genetically Isolated populations appear at random in the MDS plot 13 13 14 14 Can genetic drift and migration (=gene flow) explain the observed differentiation pattern?
