description

Molecular data on Coryphaena hippurus (Linnaeus, 1758) from western and central Mediterranean Sea were reported and compared. The aim of the study was to study the mitochondrial molecular structuring of the species at different geographical scales: localities, sub-basins, and oceans. Results show the absence of a sharp population structure inside the Mediterranean Sea, and the isolation of the Mediterranean dolphinfishes from those inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean
