description

The modal diploid number of 44 chromosomes has been found in Mullus surmuletus and Mullus barbatus (Pisces, Mullidae). Two middle-sized subtelocentric chromosomes are involved in nucleolus organization (NORs) in both Mullus species. Despite similarity in the NOR location, valuable differences in the restriction pattern of the ribosomal genes have been observed.
