Remarks | Mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene was partially sequenced to elucidate evolutionary relationships among members of the genus. Sequence data examined support two distinct clades (under both parsimony criteria and neighbor joining analysis) dividing the genus. This species is grouped with E. itajara, E. labriformis, E. analogus, E. gutattus, E. morio and E. adscensionis and the Indo Pacific species E. areolatus, E. fasciatus and E. undulosus. Data from the study do not corroborate previous hypotheses of the interrelationships among the New World grouper genera. Data suggests Epinephelus as a paraphyletic genera (Ref. 55244). |
