Despite concerns about overfishing and the potential impact of release programs on wild populations, our study of 3116 individuals from 13 wild populations and 2787 individuals from two cultured populations in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces spanning 2008 to 2023 reveals a relatively stable genetic diversity in . Surprisingly, the genetic diversity of wild large yellow croaker populations has remained consistent over the years, suggesting minimal influence from population declines due to overfishing. With the exception of populations in Sansha Bay and Luoyuan Bay, no significant genetic differences were observed among wild populations, indicating a single panmictic genetic population across the East and South China seas.

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Chlorophthalmus nigromarginatus has been determined. The mitochondrial genome (17,663 bp) had the canonical mitochondrial gene content and arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. The overall base composition of the heavy-strand is 25.
