The molecular genetic associations between populations of sand seatrout (Cynoscion arenarius) and silver seat-rout (C. nothus) have not been specifi-cally examined on a large scale with DNA methods despite the close ties between the respective fisheries for the two species. In particular, the pos-sibility of contemporary hybridization or historical admixture between these species remains to be explored by using a large panel of unlinked DNA markers.
