Abstract excerpt
Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii), a Cyprinid species, is broadly distributed in Northeast Asia. Different from its freshwater counterparts, the population in Lake Dali Nor has a strong alkalinity tolerance and can adapt to extremely alkali-saline water with bicarbonate over 50 mmol/L. To uncover the genetic basis of its alkaline adaptation, three populations, including one alkali form from Lake Dali Nor (DL), one...
