on S. ciliatus (Westrheim and Seeb 2 ) concluded that the 

 two color forms were distinct sister species. Seeb's recent 

 work with microsatellite DNA data has revealed discrete 

 genetic differences between the two, as well as some evi- 

 dence for infrequent hybridization (Seeb 3 ). Sequence data

 chondrial genome, however, have not revealed differences 

 between the two forms ( Lopez 4 , Gray 5 ), nor have sequence 

 data from other work on closely related species of Sebastes 

 (Bentzen et al., 1998; Sundt and Johansen, 1998; Roques 

 etal., 2001).
