| Abstract: | Although three species of the genus Macrourus are recognized in the Southern Ocean, DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene revealed four well-supported clades. These barcode data suggest the presence of an undescribed species, a conclusion supported by meristic and morphometric examination of specimens. |
| Keywords: | Antarctic fisheries COI mitochondrial DNA species identification |
