“…Landa, Quincoces, Duarte, Fariña, & Dupouy, 2008;Laurenson, Johnson, & Priede, 2005) and molecular markers, including allozymes (Crozier, 1987), mitochondrial DNA (Charrier et al, 2006) and microsatellites (Blanco, Borrell, Cagigas, Vázquez, & Prado, 2008), did not find differences between stocks. However, this needs to be confirmed with the analysis of a large number of genomic markers, which has been effective in resolving the population structure of marine fish when other markers failed (Leone, Álvarez, García, Saborido-Rey, & Rodriguez-Ezpeleta, 2019;Rodríguez-Ezpeleta et al, 2016;Rodríguez-Ezpeleta et al, 2019). The white anglerfish coexists with its sympatric sister species, the black bellied anglerfish (Lophius budegassa), which has a more southern distribution (Relini, 1999;Ungaro et al, 2002).…”
