DNA barcoding highlights a cryptic species of grenadier Macrourus in the Southern Ocean

Although three species of the genus Macrourus are recognized in the Southern Ocean, DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene revealed four well‐supported clades. These barcode data suggest the presence of an undescribed species, a conclusion supported by meristic and morphometric examination of...

Zusammenfassung:Although three species of the genus Macrourus are recognized in the Southern Ocean, DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene revealed four well‐supported clades. These barcode data suggest the presence of an undescribed species, a conclusion supported by meristic and morphometric examination of specimens.
