Table 2.

Diversity indices for the mitochondrial control region in different populations of C. limbatus and other shark species: π = nucleotide diversity, H = haplotype diversity, N = sample size (individuals) and HAP = number of haplotypes recorded.Note that samples from the eastern Atlantic and Indo-Pacific are excluded here because of their small size. Localities are coded as in Figure 1 and Table 1.
