Abstract Scampi (
Metanephrops challengeri Balss,
1914)
support a significant fishery
in New Zealand waters.
Allozyme analysis of samples from four fishery areas found a low level of
genetic variation but significant heterogeneity in allele frequencies. There
were significant differences between samples from the Auckland Island Shelf and
those from mainland New Zealand at three loci, but only one locus showed
heterogeneity among mainland samples.
