Abstract: Phylogeographic reconstructions using mitochondrial DNA sequences from both the control region and the cytochrome b gene demonstrated that two disjunct populations be recognized asTrachurus murphyiandTrachurus symmetricus. The species have been isolated for at least 250 000 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
