- The study analyzes genetic diversity and distribution of two fish species, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, in the Mediterranean Sea using thirteen microsatellite loci.
- M. barbatus displayed higher genetic diversity compared to M. surmuletus, while both species exhibited signs of reduced population sizes due to overfishing and habitat fragmentation.
- Findings indicate varying levels of genetic connectivity among populations, with M. barbatus showing more structure, suggesting the necessity for ongoing monitoring to inform effective stock management.
