posted on 2023-05-19, 09:56 authored by Smith, PJ, Steinke, D, McMillan, PJ, Stewart, AL, McVeagh, SM, de Astarloa, JMD, Dirk Welsford, Ward, RDAlthough 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.
