Seascape Genetics and Distinct Intraspecific Diversification of the Decapod in the Adriatic Sea.

Norway lobster , a prized decapod crustacean species, is found at different depths across the East Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Despite management efforts, the stocks are globally characterised as overexploited. In the present study, the impact of biogeographical boundaries on the phylogeographical and demographic population status was investigated within the Adriatic Sea, addressing important genetic indices for decapod functional conservation management.
