“…It is arguable that in highly mobile elasmobranch species such as pelagic sharks and mobulid rays, conservation efforts have to be conducted at the regional scale (e.g., Ovenden et al, 2009). Because of sharp geographic composition synonymous to limited genetic exchange between local populations, N. kuhlii and other (Chevolot et al, 2006;Dudgeon et al, 2009;Plank et al, 2010;Ovenden et al, 2011;present study) and 27 coastal teleost fish species (black diamonds) (Blanquer et al, 1992;Borsa, 2003;Borsa et al, 1997a;Fauvelot and Borsa, 2011;Francisco et al, 2011;Gaither et al, 2011;González-Wangüemert et al, 2010;Hemmer-Hansen et al, 2007;Hoarau et al, 2002;Horne et al, 2011;Jones et al, 2010;Kotoulas et al, 1995;Magsino and Juinio-Meñez, 2008;Matschiner et al, 2009;McCusker and Bentzen, 2010;Mobley et al, 2010;Muths et al, 2011;Planes and Fauvelot, 2002;Puebla et al, 2009;Purcell et al, 2009;Rohfritsch and Borsa, 2005;Roldán et al, 1998;Rolland et al, 2007;Timm et al, 2012).
