Upwelling and eddies affect connectivity among local populations of the goldeye rockfish, (Pisces, Scorpaenoidei).

The goldeye rockfish, , commercial rockfish catch in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, may influence its population structure. To clarify the population genetic structure of Korean and its degree of hybridization with the most close species, , we analyzed a mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region and eleven polymorphic microsatellite (ms) loci. individuals were clearly distinguished from by the mtDNA control region and ms loci results, with single interspecific hybridization between two species suggesting no impact on genetic structure of .
