Genetic diversity and population structure of burbot Lota lota in Germany: Implications for conservation and management
Abstract The genetic structure of the gadiform fish species, burbot Lota lota L., was investigated across Germany to derive management options for facilitating the preservation of genetic diversity. Sequence analysis of the mitochondrial control region ( n = 244) and microsatellite analysis ( n = 86...
