Abstract
AbstractTheTrachurus murphyihave been studied for population genetic structure for decades, identifying only one large population across the South Pacific Ocean. Although all these studies have extensively examined the spatial genetic pattern, there remains a gap in understanding the potential role of temporality. Our study aims to elucidate temporal and spatial genetic patterns inT. murphyipopulations in the South Pacific Ocean, examining genetic composition across seasons, including feeding and spawning seasons, where the latter was not previously investigated. Using 10 microsatellite loci, our study confirms a consistent and stable population genetic pattern inT. murphyiacross its geographic distribution, observed over multiple years and seasons. Furthermore, we identify potential genetic markers for monitoring variability in the species.
