Historical Demography and Genetic Population Structure of the Blackfin Tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico
Little is known about the population structure and genetic variability of blackfin tuna despite catch increases over the past 25 years. In this thesis, levels of genetic variation contained in 323bp of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region-I (CR-I) and in six microsatellite loci were characte...
