Scientists from around the world shared their research on Arctic charr, brook charr, lake charr, bull charr, and others. The views of Lake Superior did not disappoint!

​Speed reader overview: the four currently recognized spearfish species are morphologically similar, and the validity of their distinct species status has been questioned. Based on the analysis of highly polymorphic molecular markers, we were able to clearly resolve roundscale spearfish and Mediterranean spearfish, but unable to reliably distinguish between longbill spearfish and shortbill spearfish. Perhaps these latter two species are more recently evolved? Maybe isolation between these species is incomplete? Stay tuned for more!

This has been an awesome week hanging out at the Ocean City, MD weigh station for the 2017 Mid Atlantic 500 Tournament. Thanks to the tournament for letting me collect samples for my work! Check out @MidAtl on Facebook for standings and more photos!

]]><![CDATA[White marlin Study Released online]]>Wed, 26 Apr 2017 07:00:00 GMThttp://www.mamoozlab.com/blog/white-marlin-study-released-onlineThe first study included in my dissertation work was just released online today in the ICES Journal of Marine Science!

Speed reader recap: white marlin is currently managed as a single ocean-wide stock, but recent evidence suggests the possibility of population structuring for this species. Relative to previous genetic studies, I surveyed a larger number of molecular markers and samples to increase the ability to detect population structure (if it exists)....but results were consistent with a single ocean-wide population. Are these genetic results consistent with biological reality? Stay tuned for more updates!
