- Description
- The Benguela Cold Current system, located in the south-eastern Atlantic, features cold sea surface temperatures, bounded to the north and south by tropical currents (the Angola and Agulhas Currents, respectively) and a perennial upwelling cell off central Namibia that divides the region into two sub-systems with different characteristics (Shannon 1985; Hutchings et al. 2009). The colder sea surface temperatures of the Benguela Current have been considered an important biogeographic barrier, isolating tropical and warm-temperate fauna of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans (Avise 2000; Floeter et al. 2008). However, recent studies revealed that other oceanographic features, such as the perennial upwelling cell, may also play an important role in shaping the population structure of warm temperate fish populations within the Benguela system, as complete disruption of gene flow was documented both in Lichia amia (Linnaeus, 1758) and Atractoscion aequidens (Cuvier, 1830) (Henriques et al. 2012, 2014). Little is known, however, regarding the influence of the Benguela system on genetic population connectivity of cold-water-tolerant species.
