The authors sequenced mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the cytochrome B region, and a control region, to characterize the genetic variation of P. gigas, P. hypophthalmus, and hybrids of these two species. These results provide genetic information on these endangered fish that will be useful for both conservation and commercial breeding programs.
