  abstract = {{M}orphometric, allozymic, and mitochondrial {DNA} variability previously indicated that the {M}editerranean anchovy {E}ngraulis encrasicolus includes two distinct forms, one of the inshore habitat, and the other one of the open-sea habitat. {H}ere, we showed that the two forms significantly differ by several morphological characters. {T}o test the hypothesis, proposed previously, that the two forms are distinct biological species, we used length-polymorphic, exon-primed intronic {PCR} markers from the creatine-kinase multigenic family and genetically characterized anchovy samples collected in the northwestern {M}editerranean and in the eastern {A}tlantic. {L}arge genetic differences were found between the two forms ({W}eir and {C}ockerham's (θ) over cap = 0.397 to 0.586). {I}n contrast. geographic variation in the open-sea forin at the scale of the eastern {A}tlantic/northwestern {M}editerranean was weak ((θ) over cap= -0.006 to 0.042). {T}his again demonstrated considerable restriction to nuclear gene flow between inshore and open-sea anchovy populations. {I}n addition to previous results from allozymes this confirmed their status as distinct biological species, namely {E}ngraulis albidus sp. nov. and {E}ngraulis encrasicolus {L}.
