Abstract excerpt
Genetic structure and diversity of mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) populations were investigated using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Forty-six haplotypes were identified among 208 mummichog from the Elizabeth and York Rivers in Virginia, USA. No evidence of decreased gene or nucleotide diversity for mummichog from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated sites was observed. However, based on...
