Morphological and molecular differentiation of wild and farmed gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata: implications for management

A combination of molecular and morphological characteristics was used to investigate populations of wild and farmed gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata from the largest Croatian shellfish production area, Mali Ston Bay. Identification of farmed escapees was performed in the wild in order to evaluate an...
