Abstract Marine organisms that enter the Mediterranean from Red Sea via Suez Canal are known as Lessepsian bioinvaders. In general, genetic studies of fishes have shown little structure between and populations. Yet notable exceptions suggest importance life-history factors may influence patterns spatial variation. this study, by sampling two invasive with different life histories (the rabbitfis...

We used microsatellite markers to assess the population genetic structure of the scribbled rabbitfish Siganus spinus in the western Pacific. This species is a culturally important food fish in the Mariana Archipelago and subject to high fishing pressure. Our primary hypothesis was to test whether the individuals resident in the southern Mariana Island chain were genetically distinct and hence s...

Rabbitfishes (Siganids) fishing activities tend to increase and potentially impact fish target ecosystem, which is indicated by changes in population size structure the trophic level of catches. Scientific information on Siganids techniques its ecological are limited. The aims study are: (1) describe technical aspects fishery; (2) estimate parameters length at first maturity (Lm) as catch limit...
