Abstract excerpt
Chimaera monstrosa (Linnaeus, 1758) is a deep-water cartilaginous fish classified as Vulnerable globally and Near Threatened in the Mediterranean by the IUCN, yet its population genetic structure remains poorly characterised across much of its range. Here, we report the first mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of C. monstrosa from Turkish Mediterranean waters, obtained from five...
