Phylogeny based on two mtDNA genes (Co-1, Cyt-B) among Sculpins (Scorpaeniformes, Cottidae) and some other scorpionfish in the Russian Far East.

The average scores of p-distances at Co-1 and Cyt-b genes revealed a pattern of increased nucleotide diversity for four categories: (1) intraspecies, (2) intragenus, (3) intrafamily, and (4) intraorder. Scores for Co-1 genes were following: (1) 0.24 ± 0.
