Phylogenetic prospecting for cryptic species of the genus Merluccius (Actinopterygii: Merlucciidae)

Abstract Hakes of the genus Merluccius include 11 valid species as well a number of rare morphotypes suspected to be “cryptic species”. Concatenated nucDNA ITS1-rDNA and mtDNA cyt b sequences plus nested ITS1Nes sequences allowed to ascribe 14 specimens of nine rare morphotypes from the South Pacifi...
