Paralabrax humeralis
SPECIES NAME(s)
Peruvian rock seabass
The Peruvian rock seabass is endemic to the Eastern Pacific, and it is commonly found from Southern Colombia to Northern Chile (Smith-Vaniz et al. 2010). No studies have been conducted to clarify the species connectivity across its distribution range.
In Peru, mitochondrial DNA analysis of the d-Loop region revealed a very high genetic diversity, suggesting connectivity between two important fishing areas (Northern and central Peru) (Torres et al. 2015).
