Discrimination of species of Atlantic sandeels (genus Ammodytes) using morphological characters can be problematic, particularly for juveniles and small adults. To identify genetic markers, four species of sandeel, Ammodytes marinus Raitt, A. tobianus L., A. dubius Reinhardt and Gymnammodytes semisq...
