1. To assess the genetic variability in juvenile SBT collected from the SW coast of Australian adults collected off S Africa and adults collected from the east coast of Tasmania
2. The genetic variation present among the sample locations will be used to test the hypothesis that the two length modes present in a single year class of juvenile SBT relate to at least two genetically different components of the population.
3. Genetic variation between the African and Tasmanian adult samples will help determine whether genetic differences observed in juvenile fish is related to their spatial distribution as adults
