| Abstract: | None of the previous genetic analysis found significant differences within the
Mediterranean. However, a more exhaustive analysis is needed inside this sea. In this
sense, we have analyzed the mitochondrial control region sequence variability of three
Mediterranean locations: Libya (n = 22), Tunisia (n = 23) and Malta (n = 12). Additionally
a sample from the Gulf of Cadiz (n = 24) in the East Atlantic Ocean was also included in
the study. The AMOVA analysis revealed slightly (Fst = 0.013) but significative genetic
differences (P < 0.000) for the Malta location, probably due to its small sample size (n =
12). In the other hand, when this location is removed from the analysis, no differences
where found among the three remaining location (Fst = 0,005; P = 0,097), neither when
they were compared with the previous genetic data from the Mediterranean (Fst = 0,002; P
= 0,149). |
