In Australian populations of barramundi Lates calcarifer , phylogenetic reconstruction of mtDNA sequences provided evidence of significant historical levels of gene flow, despite the substantial structuring of contemporary populations. The geographical pattern of mtDNA sequences among the populations was not congruent with previous evidence of a major disjunction between western and eastern populations of barramundi in Australia.
