Abstract.
The common gudgeon Gobio gobio (L.) has a great phenotypic plasticity being one of the most variable fish species in Europe. In the Iberian Peninsula it has been considered to be an introduced species. However, recent publications have considered that gudgeon populations from different basins of the Iberian Peninsula are native. In this work we tried to clarify the status of Iberian populations by means of molecular methods. Thirty-two specimens of common gudgeon from several localities placed in six different Iberian and South French basins (Duero, Ebro, Tajo, Nansa, Bidasoa and Nivelle) were analysed. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships between the Iberian gudgeon ...
