Abstract
The genetic diversity of silver pomfret ( Pampus argenteus) from the Bohai, East China, and South China Seas was investigated using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequence data. We found high levels of variation with 17 haplotypes among the 45 individuals ( h = 0.88, π = 0.006). AMOVA analysis detected significant structuring among China Sea silver pomfret ( P < 0.05, F ST = 0.050), which indicates significant genetic differentiation. No significant differentiation between Bohai Sea and East China Sea samples was detected ( P > 0.05). Whether silver pomfret from the South China Sea exhibit a different demographic history than those from the Bohai and East China Seas remains to be determined.
