Genetic structure of Chilean populations of Seriola lalandi for the diversification of the national aquaculture in the north of Chile

Seriola lalandi has been recognized as a potential aquaculture species in Chile, however, little is known about the genetic structure of local populations. This is important, as the current production system is based on an initial wild catching and ill management of these stocks can cause reduced ge...
