Abstract

The well-being and persistence of various organisms in a specific environment rely on the distinctive biological characteristics of each species. The intrinsic genetic diversity within species and populations serves as a crucial factor for thriving amidst dynamic environmental conditions. Recognizing the genetic and morphological variations is essential for ensuring the sustainability of ocean resources, discerning adaptive evolution patterns, and effectively managing these resources. The accurate identification of fish species is paramount for sustainable fisheries management, preserving biological complexity. Determining stock structure is vital for formulating targeted management strategies. Recent advancements in molecular tools have facilitated precise identification and delineation of stock structure, empowering conservationists to plan and implement effective management and conservation measures.
