| morphological description of genetically identified cortez bonefish (albula gilberti, pfeiler and van der heiden 2011) leptocephali from the southern gulf of california. | bonefish leptocephali of the genus albula are difficult to identify to the species level due to morphological similarities between two different species present in the northeastern pacific ocean, a. esuncula and a. gilberti. in this study, 22 bonefish leptocephali (premetamorphic and early metamorphic), collected from two locations in the southern gulf of california were identified as albula gilberti by comparing 459 bp of their mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences to those of four other sp ... | 2017 | 27246685 |
