Cryptic Diversity and Genetic Variation in a Korean Endemic Freshwater Fish, the Korean Dark Chub ( <i>Zacco koreanus</i> ) Compared With Its Relative <i>Zacco temminckii</i>
and possible cryptic diversity. The results of this study provide insight into understanding how Korean freshwater fishes have evolved in response to geographically isolated major rivers. The evolutionary mechanisms underpinning the cryptic species diversity in freshwater systems are worthy of further study.
