Contrasting population genomic structuring of northern pike (Esox lucius L.) in fresh- and brackish water environments: Implications for management and conservation.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the factors that shape population genetic structure is crucial for advancing evolutionary studies and developing effective management and conservation strategies. The northern pike (Esox lucius L.) is a top teleost predator that inhabits fresh and brackish water environments in the northern hemisphere. Pike populations in the brackish Baltic Sea typically display strong genetic structuring, with...
