Issue
This subspecies is reported to have no genetic difference between the subspecies Diplodus sargus cadenati. See V.S. Domingues et al. 2007. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology 346 (2007):102-113 (F. M. Porteiro, pers.comm. 02/08). Presence in Canary Is. to be reviewed since D. bellottii and D. cadenati are recognized as valid species, not any more as subspecies of D. sargus.
