Fixed nucleotide differences were found in the partial 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene sequences between two regional populations of Maurolicus (identified as M. muelleri and M. walvisensis ), indicating clear genealogical separation of the two taxa. Accordingly, the two taxa can be considered as recently diverged species, supporting the recent proposition of a polytypic genus Maurolicus .
