AbstractThe objective of the present study was to investigate the population genetic structure of the commercially important camouflage grouper, Epinephelus polyphekadion (Bleeker, 1849), in the western and central Pacific Ocean to improve existing management. Camouflage grouper are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific and form brief, seasonal, spawning aggregations that are often heavily fished. The present study examined populations sampled in 1997-1998 at five sites in the western central Pacific spanning a geographic distance of ∼5,000 km: New Caledonia, Great Barrier Reef, Palau, Marshall Islands, and Pohnpei (Micronesia). Primer pairs were developed to examine genetic variation at three polymorphic microsatellite loci. Cluster analysis, using genetic distance, revealed three regional groupings: (1) Palau, (2) Pohnpei and the Marshall Islands, and (3) the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia. Highly significant allele frequency differences were observed among sites. At Pohnpei, significant allele frequency differences in successive years were also apparent, possibly related to genetic variation among cohorts or between local spawning groups. The inter-annual differences at Pohnpei suggest that there may be further genetic structuring over relatively modest distances, a finding relative to determining management units for this commercially valuable species and suggests that future studies need to incorporate possible smallscale temporal or spatial components into study design.
