We evaluated the population structure of M. nigricans within the Pacific Ocean using 17 microsatellite loci and 6204 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Evidence from both types of genetic markers supported the null hypothesis of a single genetic population throughout the Pacific Ocean. This study provides insight into the current stock structure of M. nigricans and discusses the implications for fisheries management.

调查太平洋蓝枪鱼 (Makaira nigricans) 的遗传种群结构

我们使用 17 个微卫星位点和 6204 个单核苷酸多态性评估了太平洋内 M. nigricans 的种群结构。来自两种类型遗传标记的证据支持整个太平洋单一遗传种群的无效假设。这项研究提供了对 M. nigricans 当前种群结构的深入了解，并讨论了对渔业管理的影响。
