A peek into the population genetics of white teatfish (Holothuria fuscogilva) of Kenya's south coast.

Background: The white teatfish, Holothuria fuscogilva, is widely distributed in coastal areas, including waters around coral reefs and seagrasses in the Indo-Pacific. In Kenya, the species is distributed in shallow reefs with higher landings reported from the Vanga-Shimoni-Gazi seascape on the Kenyan south coast. Despite its high exploitation for export and its vulnerable and endangered statuses under IUCN and CITES respectively, Kenya's H.

Conservation priorities in an endangered estuarine seahorse are informed by demographic history.

Historical demographic events shape genetic diversity that remains evident in the genomes of contemporary populations. In the case of species that are of conservation concern, this information helps to unravel evolutionary histories that can be critical in guiding conservation efforts. The Knysna seahorse, Hippocampus capensis, is the world's most endangered seahorse species, and it presently survives in only three estuaries on the South African south coast.

Genetic diversity and spatial population structure of a deepwater snapper, Pristipomoides filamentosus in the south-west Indian Ocean.

The crimson jobfish, Pristipomoides filamentosus Valenciennes, 1830 is an economically important demersal species largely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region. Pristipomoides filamentosus constitutes a significant portion of catch landed in demersal fisheries throughout the species' distribution range. Despite the species' economic importance, there is insufficient data to guide the species' conservation management, especially within the south-western (SW) Indian Ocean region.
