Start year 2019 End year 2021 Funding (€) € 999,769 Website NA Summary The ultimate objective of the study is to identify and match the biological with the
management stock units of several of the most important demersal species in the
Mediterranean, included also among the priority species at GFCM level.
The project has the following specific objectives:
1. Identify biogeographical boundaries and population structure of priority species.
2. Investigate genetic distribution among and within sub-basins (e.g. higher genetic
structure versus more homogenous pattern; panmictic vs. geographical partitioning;
isolation vs population connectivity with other adjacent Mediterranean regions).
