Development of SNP for <i>Sebastes</i> Species Identification With Special Focus on the Cryptic Species Complex of <i>Sebastes norvegicus</i>.

ABSTRACT: The genus Sebastes in the North Atlantic comprises of long lived deep-waters species that have been extensively fished upon, and many stocks are severely depleted across the Atlantic. This is particularly evident for the species Sebastes norvegicus. In recent papers, cryptic species have been indicated within this genus and molecular markers are therefore needed to provide identification for the Sebastes species, including the cryptic species as a basis for advice regarding management and rebuilding of the stocks. A suite of 2800 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers were identified from ddRAD sequencing data, of which 56 SNPs were organized in two multiplex reactions and tested on 191 Sebastes spp. from different sampling locations from Norway and Greenl
