A “seascape genetic” snapshot of Sebastes marinus calls for further investigation across the North Atlantic

Abstract

AbstractPampoulie, C., Gíslason, D., and Daníelsdóttir, A. K. 2009. A “seascape genetic” snapshot of Sebastes marinus calls for further investigation across the North Atlantic. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 2219–2222. A collection of 376 golden redfish (Sebastes marinus) from several fishing grounds in the North Atlantic in late 2001 was genotyped at nine microsatellite loci to provide preliminary information on the possible genetic structure in this species. Landscape genetic analysis revealed the presence of two distinct genetic pools within the North Atlantic, suggesting that S. marinus might be structured within the North Atlantic and should be the subject of more investigation.
