Genetic population structure and demographic history of Pacific cod in Japanese waters: Implications for stock identification using SNP markers

Akira S. Hirao, Kay Sakuma, Tetsuya Akita, Satoru Chiba

This study identifies three genetic groups in Pacific cod in Japanese waters using SNPs and shows that outlier SNPs improve stock identification accuracy.
