Resumen

Aphanius dispar (Rüppell, 1829) es un teleósteo eurihalino común en aguas de Oriente Medio que presenta una considerable variación intraespecífica. El presente trabajo estudia la diversidad de A. dispar entre especímenes del Mar de Omán y del Golfo Pérsico a partir de la morfología de los otolitos. Se han analizado un total de 134 individuos procedentes de lagunas salobres y aguas interiores procedentes de Omán, Unión de Emiratos Árabes e Irán. Los caracteres morfológicos de los otolitos regulados genéticamente son distintos de los influenciados por factores ambientales. Se ha detectado una estructura espacial de las poblaciones, sugiriendo una plasticidad ambiental de A. dispar, un proceso de vicariancia durante la última glaciación (21000-18000 AP), una dispersión durante el aumento del nivel del mar a inicios del Holoceno y una interrupción del flujo genético en el estrecho de Ormuz desde el Holoceno a la actualidad. Los factores descritos podrían ser los causantes de la diversificación en otros peces eurihalinos de Oriente Medio y del Mar Mediterráneo y determinarlos podría contribuir a su conservación.
