Using two restriction endonuclei (PvuII, EcoRV), four composite restriction patterns (genotypes) were revealed. All four genotypes were present in both seas but in different frequencies. The three Mediterranean samples (Greece, Italy, Spain) did not differ significantly from each other in their genotypic frequencies. There was, however, a very significant difference between the two Atlantic samples. The samples from Tarifa (just off the Strait of Gibraltar) did not differ from the Mediterranean samples, but the sample from the Gulf of Guinea differed greatly from all other samples (Mediterranean and Tarifa). These observations suggest the existence of one homogeneous stock in the Mediterranean different from that found in the eastern tropical Atlantic. The similarity of the sample from Tarifa with those from the Mediterranean is consistent with the view that the Strait of Gibraltar does not restrict the movement of swordfish between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.}, author = {Magoulas, A. and Kotoulas, G. and de la Serna, J.

A fifth sample from the Atlantic side of the Straits of Gibraltar (Tarifa) consisted mostly of mitotypes that are common in the Mediterranean, but contained several of mtDNA types of the Guinea sample not found in the Mediterranean. We conclude that, in spite of free migration of swordfish across the Straits of Gibraltar, little genetic exchange occurs between the populations inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea and the tropical Atlantic ocean.

We found two distinct clades separated by an average nucleotide divergence of 6.6\%, which may correspond to a Balkan and to an Asia Minor refugium. The estimated time of separation of the two clades was dated back to 105,000- 490,000 years ago. These two clades coexist in the area of northeastern Greece and Bulgaria, most likely as a result of a post-glacial northward expansion. Within the southern Balkan refugium, network analyses showed geographical structuring, which supports the hypothesis of several isolated Late Pleistocene populations. The central European and Italian populations appear to have originated from a non-detected northern Balkan population that was genetically closely related to some northern Greek populations, as a result of postglacial expansion, translocations or a combination of both. Moreover, several cases of ancient and recent translocations by humans were detected, especially for some island populations, while the eastern Aegean islands off the Asia Minor coast were most likely colonized naturally through Late Pleistocene land bridge connection. The genetic analysis presented here provides a framework for designing proper conservation and management guidelines for this species. {\textcopyright} 2004 Elsevier Inc.
