“…The specific markers particular to species, genus or geographical population have all been employed in the identification and discrimination of individuals, species and populations, hybrid parentages and genetic diagnostics (Callejas & Ochando, 1998; Huang et al, 2000; Kim et al., 2000; Yoon & Kim, 2004). Thus, the applications of PCR techniques to aquaculture had been to identify genetic distances among a few of fish species and/or invertebrates apart from geographic sites (Partis & Wells, 1996; Callejas & Ochando, 1998; McCormack et al, 2000; Kwun & Kim, 2010; Song & Yoon, 2013; Oh & Yoon, 2014; Yoon, 2015; Noh et al, 2016). In the present study, to elucidate the genetic distances and differences between geographical tonguesole populations, the author performed a clustering analysis of two tonguesole populations collected from two sites of Gunsan and the Atlantic.…”
