Narrow barred Spanish mackerel, Scomberomorus commerson (Lacepede 1800) is one of the commercially important fish in Indian waters. For sustainable management of the species, it is necessary to understand the genetic stock structure of the species. Accurate delineation of genetic stock structure can be achieved using nuclear microsatellite markers. A study was carried out to identify and validate polymorphic microsatellite markers in S. commerson using information available from closely related fish species. The study could identify 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci which can be effectively utilised for identifying genetic stock structure of the species. Validation of the identified loci was also done by testing the loci in natural populations of the species. The findings of the present study will be useful in devising stock-specific management measures for conservation and sustainable utilisation of this commercially important fish species in Indian waters.

Mysida are small, mostly marine crustaceans that are an important element of food webs, specifically as prey for several commercially important fish species. Taking their ecological and economical importance into account, relatively little attention is attributed to these organisms, and they are often neglected in biodiversity surveys and studies. To draw attention to these animals and stimulate research in New Zealand, we summarize information available for New Zealand Mysidae. We present a checklist of the 17 species recorded in New Zealand waters as well as a preliminary identification key to species based on the existing literature. We also provide an overview of mysid material available in collections in New Zealand.
