Fourteen haplotypes were observed, with one being dominant in the Mediterranean samples and another one in the Atlantic populations. The geographically extreme populations sampled in Norway and the Black Sea appeared differentiated by exhibiting the dominance of a third group of haplotypes. The results were compared to available microsatellite data at five loci. The Atlantic/Mediterranean differentiation pattern was qualitatively the same with both types of markers, confirming an isolation-by-distance pattern. The average mitochondrial haplotypic diversity displayed a high among populations variance, reflecting small effective population size in some locations. Additionally, a 10-fold quantitative difference was observed in Fst between the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes, which could be due to an unbalanced sex ratio or sex-biased differential reproductive success between males and females (or both).
