Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of <i>Squalus</i> cf. <i>mitsukurii</i> (Chondrichthyes: Squalidae) Revealed by <scp>ddRAD</scp> Sequencing
analyses revealed moderate genetic structure, indicating limited gene flow between the sampled populations. This study provides the first genomic evidence of population differentiation in S. cf. mitsukurii across these regions. Our findings underscore the importance of genome-wide data and informing regionally conservation strategies, especially for exploited species commonly misidentified in commercial landings and lacking population management.
