Brief description
Sixty animals were collected from each of Bass Pt, New South Wales (lat 34°35' S, long 150°54' E; August 2000); south side of East Cove, Deal Is, Bass St. (lat 39°28.4' S, long 147°18.4' E; June 2000) and Fortescue Bay, Tasmania (lat 43°8.5' S, long 148°0.0' E; October 2000 and April 2001). To examine the genetic relationship between the three site populations of Centrostephanus rodgersii, allelic diversity and heterozygosity among the three sites was compared using BIOSYS.Lineage

To determine whether newly established populations of the long spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) in Tasmania displayed lower levels of genetic variation relative to populations from mainland Australia, as might be expected if Tasmanian populations arose from a single or small number of founder events with little subsequent gene flow from other populations.
