| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A good understanding the metapopulation structure of an endangered species can provide essential insight for planning its conservation. The fish Ryukyu-ayu consists of endangered populations on the island of Amami Oshima. To examine the metapopulation structure of this fish, we conducted ecological survey and genetic analysis. Generally, a metapopulation consists of a source population and surrounding sink populations. Our logistic regression analysis clearly showed that the small river with low flow rate is the sink river. It was also indicated that when the relatively large river with high flow rate was distant from the source river, the river was difficult to maintain population size. A total of 1235 individuals were collected from the island in 1992-2017 and genotyped using 38 microsatellite DNA markers. We detected subtle but significant differentiation among populations of the eastern populations on the island, although the western populations were genetically homogeneous.
