About this position

The characterisation of genetic diversity and demographic structure of fish populations are essential in assessing and maintaining stocks sustainability. Population structure and genetic diversity of stocks have mainly been assessed using limited genetic markers. While useful for broad population estimates, these methods lack power to quantify gene flow and cannot detect structural variants. Furthermore, fish population demographics are commonly estimated from otolith growth rings, a destructive method requiring specialist expertise and sacrifice of individuals. In contrast, long-read DNA sequ
