Abstract We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula. The 16,697-bp-long mtDNA possesses a gene organization identical to that of the Osteichthyes, but different from that of the sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus. The main features of the mtDNA of osteichthyans were thus established in the common ancestor to chondrichthyans and osteichthyans. The phylogenetic analysis confirms that the Chondrichthyes are the sister group of the Osteichthyes.

AbstractWe present microspectrophotometric evidence for the existence of two distinct visual pigments residing in two different morphological types of photoreceptor of the sea lamprey. In the upstream migrant Petromyzon marinus, the pigment found in short receptors has a wavelength of peak absorbance (λmax) of 525 nm, whereas the pigment located in long receptors has a λmax of 600 nm. Although the former appears to be pure porphyropsin, the latter is akin to visual pigments found in the red-absorbing cones of amphibian and teleost retinae. The kinship is more than superficial pertaining to λmax of the a–band absorbance to its native maximum value. The presence of an anion-sensitive and an anion-insensitive pigment in a retina implies the expression of two distinct opsin genes. We infer this from several examples of correlation between anion sensitivity and opsin sequence groupings. Moreover, the presence of two distinct opsin genes expressed throughout six vertebrate classes implies their existence in a common ancestor to all.
