AN INVESTIGATION OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION STRUCTURE OF THE MARLINSUCKER (REMORA OSTEOCHIR) INFERRED FROM MITOCHONDRIAL CONTROL REGION DNA SEQUENCE ANALYSIS.

This article presents a study regarding an investigation of the global population structure of the marlinsucker inferred from mitochondrial control region DNA sequence analysis. It discusses that nucleotide sequences from the hypervariable mitochondrial control region were used to determine phylogeographic structuring in the marlinsucker. It discusses that complete DNA sequences were isolated from 71 individuals collected and analyses of molecular variance resolved significant levels of population structuring among collections from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
