Abstract excerpt
Understanding population structure is critical for effective fisheries management in species with complex life histories and variable recruitment. Southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) is a valuable flatfish species with declining populations in the Southeast United States. Improved management may depend on a better understanding of fine-scale and temporal population genetic structure in this region;...
