Genome-wide analysis clarifies the population genetic structure of wild gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). by Francesco Maroso, Konstantinos Gkagkavouzis, Sabina De Innocentiis, Jasmien Hillen, Fernanda do Prado, Nikoleta Karaiskou, John Bernard Taggart, Adrian Carr, Einar Nielsen, Alexandros Triantafyllidis, Luca Bargelloni, Aquatrace Consortium

“…Seascape analysis suggested that this differentiation was mainly due to difference in salinity, this being also supported by preliminary genomic functional analysis. These results are of fundamental importance for the development of proper management of this species in the wild and are a first step toward the study of the potential genetic impact of the sea bream aquaculture industry.…”
