"The genetic structure of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in the Pacific Ocean was assessed by analyzing 594 individuals from 6 different regions, genotyped with 13 microsatellite loci. The results showed very low genetic differentiation among the different geographical areas, which was not statistically significant. There was a slight evidence for isolation by distance across a U-shaped corridor, as it had been demonstrated by Reeb et al. (2000) using mtDNA, but more samples and a better geographical coverage are necessary to support this finding. These data confirmed the low genetic differentiation of swordfish within Pacific, which has been already found with other genetic markers."
