The genetic structure of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla was investigated for six wild populations in western Luzon and eastern Philippines and one batch of hatchery-reared sea urchins. Analysis of six polymorphic allozyme loci revealed low levels of genetic differentiation (Nei’s unbiased D = 0...
