Genetic markers show Pacific albacore intermingle across equator but remain separate stocks
Date Time Genetic markers show Pacific albacore intermingle across equator but remain separate stocks NEWPORT, Ore. – Analyzing thousands of genetic markers in albacore tuna from the Pacific Ocean, researchers at Oregon State University have learned that just seven dozen of those markers are needed to determine which side of the equator a fish comes from. The scientists also discovered that fish from different hemispheres intermingle and sometimes breed with each other. Published today in Evolutionary Applications, the findings are an important step toward better understanding the populatio...
