Summary The use of molecular genetic techniques in fisheries research has increased dramatically over the past few years, largely due to the increased availability of techniques, especially those that incorporate DNA approaches, and a greater awareness of the value of genetic data. Molecular genetic methods employ inherited, discrete and stable markers to identify genotypes that characterize individuals, populations or species. These data can provide information on the levels and distribution of genetic variability in fish in relation to mating patterns, population size, life history, migration and the environment
