DOI: 10.28978/nesciences.286366
Keywords: Atlantic Bonito, Sarda sarda, genetic structuring, connectivity, migration pattern.
Abstract
Population structure of Atlantic Bonito Sarda sarda in the Mediterranean Sea and possible pathway of migration for spawning and feeding was discussed on the bases of genetic and morphological dataset. The effects of topographic and hydrographic factors on the connectivity and migration pattern of Atlantic Bonito in Turkish, Bulgarian and Croatian marine waters and fishery management implications of putative stocks were correspondingly referred.
