TL;DR: It is shown that reproductive isolation can be maintained in marine fish populations exhibiting substantial mixing during larval and adult life stages, and analyses incorporating genetic, spatial, and environmental parameters indicated that isolation mechanisms are associated with the specific salinity conditions on spawning locations.

TL;DR: Common issues when employing SNP markers are discussed, including the high numbers of markers typically employed, the effects of ascertainment bias and the inclusion of nonneutral loci in a marker panel.

TL;DR: A review of achievements in marine fish genomics to date and potential avenues for future research, which will provide both general insights into evolution in high gene flow species, as well as specific knowledge which can lead to improved management of marine organisms are highlighted.

TL;DR: Evidence of correlated genetic and life history differentiation in an abundant and highly migratory pelagic fish, Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, in the North Sea and adjacent areas is described and suggests the existence of more complex patterns of intraspecific diversity than was previously recognized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms to assign individual marine fish back to the population of origin with unprecedented high levels of precision, using a case-driven case study and using a centrally maintained and publicly available database.
