This study examines the stock structure of South African sardines using genomic analysis, focusing on two species: Callichirus kraussii and Upogebia africana. The research explores the genetic subdivisions, neutral markers, and correlations with sea-surface temperature. The potential for transcriptome sequencing is also discussed.
