ABSTRACT
We present here the genetic structure existing among five samples of the spotted sea bass Dicentrarchus punctatus, and we compare it to what prevails in the common sea bass D. labrax, a congeneric species sampled on almost the same geographical range. A genetic distance tree inferred from the polymorphism at six microsatellite loci shows a distinct pattern for the two species. D. labrax samples appears to be genetically more homogeneous with a global Fst of 3% as compared to the 10% observed at D. punctatus, indicating a lesser level of gene flow in the latter species. While appearing more differentiated, D. punctatus presents no clear geographical organisation of its genetic variability in opposition to D. labrax samples. This allows us to propose this pair of closely relative species as a good candidate for the study by comparative analysis of the biological and/or historical factors affecting genetic differentiation in marine environment.
