"The population genetic structure and historical demography of the flathead mullet Mugil cephalus were investigated using the mtDNA control region (CR) sequences (909-1015 bp) of 126 individuals collected from seven locations in the north-west Pacific between 2005 and 2007. Haplotype diversity (h = 0 center dot 9333-1 center dot 000) and nucleotide diversity (pi = 0 center dot 0046-0 center dot 1467) varied greatly among the sampling locations," scientists writing in the Journal of Fish Biology report.
"Phylogenetic analysis of the CR sequences indicated that M. cephalus in the north-west Pacific belongs to two highly divergent lineages (lineages 1 and 2), with ...
