Aside from having an important ecological role in the ocean food web, small pelagic fishes have become the major food source in the Sulu-Celebes Sea (SCS), which lies at the epicenter global marine diversity,bordered by Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. Conservation and management of these fish resources is very important since the pelagic fishery is the principal contributor to the total fish landings in the SCS.

In this webinar, the utilization of mitochondrial DNA sequence data to know the genetic diversity, stock structure, and demographic patterns of four commercially important small pelagics (Auxis thazard, Sardinella lemuru, Rastrelliger kanagurta and Selar crumenophthalmus) will be discussed. Information on the phylogeography and population structure of these small pelagics are useful in developing effective conservation and management plans in the future.
