  abstract = {{E}uryhaline {C}ichlid fish of the species {C}optodon guineensis are present in different water holes situated in a dried depression in the desert in the extreme {S}outh of {M}orocco, the {S}ebkha of {I}mlili. {A} genetic survey of this population, using complete sequences of the {ND}2 gene ( mt{DNA}) and sixteen microsatellite loci, revealed that the fish in the sebkha did not form a single population, but rather a metapopulation. {T}his metapopulational structure may be regarded as good news from the point of view of the conservation of fish in the sebkha. {A}lthough small individual populations may have short, finite life spans, the metapopulation as a whole is more stable, because immigrants from one population are likely to re-colonize the habitat, left open by the extinction of another.},
