“…Strategies for its cultivation have been implemented in the United States, Mexico, Ecuador and Spain (Roo et al ., 2010; Sicuro & Luzzana, 2016). Despite the importance of almaco jack, few genetic studies have been published relative to other species in the genus, including Seriola dumerili (Risso 1810) ( e.g ., Gold & Richardson, 1998; Šegvić‐Bubić et al ., 2016); Seriola lalandi Valenciennes 1833 ( e.g ., Miller et al ., 2011; Premachandra et al ., 2017; Purcell et al ., 2015) and Seriola quinqueradiata Temminck and Schlegel 1845 ( e.g ., Ohara et al ., 2003; 2005). Only two published studies on almaco jack exist, a characterization of the mitochondrial genome (Chen et al ., 2016) and an assessment of the diversity at the three mitochondrial and eight microsatellite loci from individuals sampled in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean (Šegvić‐Bubić et al ., 2016).…”
