Haemoglobin revisited: delineating population structure with the world’s first molecular genetic marker used in fisheries research by Bjørghild Breistein, Geir Dahle, Torild Johansen, Per Erik Jorde, Kevin A. Glover

“…However, despite this difference, the observed north–south pattern in allele frequencies observed here and in the historical studies overlapped, aligning with current knowledge of population genetic structure in this species. We therefore conclude that this once questioned marker, which provided the first molecular genetic insights into genetic structure in Atlantic cod, provides knowledge consistent with the isolation by distance pattern revealed through decades of research in this species in this region.…”
