| Biblio Comment | synonymy; No genetic evidence in the sailfish mtDNA control region to indicate that Atlantic (I. albicans) and Indo-Pacific (I. platypterus) sailfishes are separate species; no fixed nucleotide differences were seen in control region sequences of 58 sailfish taken from throughout their range (McDowell, 2002). However, both restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of whole molecule mtDNA and sequencing of the mitochondrial control region show two distinct mtDNA clades. Both clades are evident in the Atlantic, while only one is found in the Indo-Pacific. |
