    A Retraction of the Original Research Article
    Close kin proximity in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) as a driver of population genetic structure in the tropical Western and Central Pacific Ocean

    by Anderson G, Lal M, Hampton J, Smith N and Rico C (2019) Front. Mar. Sci. 6:341. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00341

    The journal retracts the 12 July 2019 article cited above.

    Following publication, the authors contacted the Editorial Office to request the retraction of the cited article, stating that major revisions to the conclusion were needed as a result of resequencing the genetic samples. The majority of the findings/conclusions reported in the article are no longer supported by the analyses/data. An investigation was conducted in accordance with Frontiers’ policies that confirmed this; therefore, the article has been retracted.

    The authors present revised findings in a new manuscript: Anderson G, Macdonald JI, Lal M, Hampton J, Smith N and Rico C (2023) Sample contamination explains evidence of close kin proximity in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.
