Seascape Genetics and Distinct Intraspecific Diversification of the Decapod Nephrops norvegicus in the Adriatic Sea.

ABSTRACT: Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus, a prized decapod crustacean species, is found at different depths across the East Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Despite management efforts, the stocks are globally characterised as overexploited. In the present study, the impact of biogeographical boundaries on the phylogeographical and demographic population status was investigated within the Adriatic Sea, addressing important genetic indices for decapod functional conservation management. Central Mediterranean, Adriatic Sea A total of 482 individuals of Nephrops divided into the 12 samples were collected across biogeographical range of the Adriatic Sea. Using the mtDNA D-loop and microsatellite markers, methods of phylogeography and seascape genetics were applied to infer offshore
