  abstract = {{M}ugil cephalus sensu lato is a globally distributed complex of cryptic species whose distribution range and evolutionary history remains largely unknown. {I}n the {N}orth {W}est ({NW}) {P}acific three species have been identified genetically among fish described morphologically as {M}. cephalus. {T}heir distribution ranges are largely parapatric and has been proposed to mirror different thermal preferences. {T}o date, few samples have been analyzed from {S}outh {C}hina {S}ea, which limits inferences on the evolutionary history of the species complex. {W}e sampled fish identified morphologically as {M}. cephalus along {V}ietnamese shores and characterized them using the sequence polymorphism of two mitochondrial genes, the cytochrome oxidase {I} and cytochrome b. {T}his demonstrated that all three species described in the {NW} {P}acific are present in both northern and southern {V}ietnamese waters. {A}lthough the difference in species abundance reflects those observed in the {NW} {P}acific, no phylogeographic pattern was revealed. {I}n addition, no population structure was observed whatever the species or the distribution range considered, which indicates a significant level of gene flow that maintains genetic homogeneity of the three species. {I}t is also conceivable that each species experienced a recent population expansion from a single ancestral population. {F}inally we suggest that if the cold waters of the {NW} {P}acific present a physiologic challenge leading to the almost parapatric distribution of the three species, then it is likely that the warm surface temperatures of the {S}outh {C}hina {S}ea negate this barrier.},
