Abstract excerpt
Identifying and preserving biological diversity is fundamental for the conservation of wild populations. The Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, ABT) is an apex predator and vital species to the pelagic ecosystems of the North Atlantic Ocean, with populations now rebounding from decades of overfishing due to strict enforcement of conservation measures. Here, we combine high-resolution whole-genome sequencing...
