AB  - Eastern king prawn (Penaeus plebejus) is endemic to eastern Australia and is of 
      high commercial and recreational value. As part of a recreational fisheries 
      enhancement initiative, hatchery reared juveniles from Queensland were released 
      into two, more Southern New South Wales (NSW) estuaries between 2014 and 2015. 
      Responsible stock enhancement programs rely on knowledge of the population 
      structure of the released species. Previously, in consideration of fisheries 
      data, it was assumed the king prawn populations in Australia are one single 
      breeding stock. In the present study, our first aim was to test this posit of no 
      genetic differentiation using mtDNA control region (mtCR) sequences from the wild 
      samples collected from four estuaries ranging from Queensland/NSW border (source 
      of the stocked animals) to Southern NSW. The second objective was to test for 
      signals of hatchery-released animals in the two stocked estuaries. All four 
      surveyed populations had an extremely high level of haplotype diversity (average 
      h = 99.8%) and low level of haplotype sharing between populations. Estimates of 
      PhiPT values were <0.01 or close to zero and AMOVA test did not indicate any 
      significant differences among populations. Further, phylogenetic analysis and 
      principal coordinate analysis did not support division of samples by population. 
      Collectively these results suggest that eastern king prawn populations along the 
      NSW coast can be considered as a single stock and stocking from the Queensland 
      samples will not necessarily impact the genetic composition of the overall stock. 
      After stocking of two estuaries, sharing of haplotypes was moderate to very high 
      in the stocked sites (>80% in some collections) but negligible in the two 
      unstocked estuaries (</=2%, which is assumed to be background coancestry unrelated 
      to the hatchery). Moreover, some haplotypes present in the hatchery broodstock 
      were detected in stocked sites, but not in unstocked sites. The highest stocking 
      signal was detected in the estuary which becomes isolated from the sea by sand 
      barrier suggesting such "lakes" maybe more favourable for stocking than estuaries 
      directly open to the sea. Findings in the current study should assist in 
      designing and implementation of future prawn stocking programs.
