Phylogeography of two marine predators, giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) and bluefin trevally (Caranx melampygus), across the Indo-Pacific
by Jessica R Glass, Scott R Santos, John SK Kauwe, Brandon D Pickett, Thomas J Near

Scientists in the US and South Africa examined population genetic structure of giant and bluefin trevallies to reveal different phylogeographic patterns. Their findings will help improve future management measures for these economically-important, data-limited species, particularly in light of historic and current overfishing in Hawaii.
