Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals the presence of two management units in the sábalo Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) from La Plata River basin

ABSTRACT The La Plata River basin, the second largest drainage basin in South America, supports important fisheries, in which the sábalo Prochilodus lineatus is the leading species measured as extracted volumes. To characterize the population structure of the sábalo in the middle and lower regions o...
