在萨加拉索斯（土耳其）镇对罗马和早期拜占庭时期的发掘中发现了属于该地点附近不存在的物种的鱼类遗骸。已识别鱼类的现代地理分布表明与安纳托利亚各个地区的贸易。地中海沿岸、埃及和/或黎凡特。整个时期，与黎凡特和埃及的贸易随克拉丽亚斯（一种生活在尼罗河和黎凡特其他地区的鲶鱼）的出现而明显可见。对来自土耳其、叙利亚、以色列和埃及的该物种的现代种群进行了成功的线粒体 DNA 分析。在线粒体控制区上发现了几个可变区，其中包含区分单倍型的多态性。引物组旨在扩增包含这些信息区域的古代 DNA 小片段。古鱼类DNA得以成功提取。扩增并测序。分析表明，鲶鱼骨头属于Clarias gariepinus，起源于尼罗河下游。此外，这项研究有助于了解 C gariepinus 在安纳托利亚的现代分布。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The excavations of Roman and Early Byzantine contexts at the town of Sagalassos (Turkey) yielded fish remains belonging to species that do not occur near the site. The modern geographical distribution of the identified fish indicates trade with various regions of Anatolia. the Mediterranean coast, Egypt and/or the Levant. Trade with Levant and Egypt is evident throughout the period by the presence of Clarias, a catfish living amongst others in the Nile and Levant. Mitochondrial DNA analysis was successfully carried out on modern populations of this species from Turkey, Syria, Israel and Egypt. Several variable regions were discovered on the mitochondrial control region containing polymorphisms that distinguish the haplotypes. Primer sets were designed to amplify small fragments of ancient DNA containing these informative regions. Ancient fish DNA could be successfully extracted. amplified and sequenced. The analyses indicate that the catfish bones belong to Clarias gariepinus and that they originated from the lower Nile. In addition, this study sheds light on the understanding of the modern distribution of C gariepinus in Anatolia. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
