Sumario:[Aim]: Networks of connected marine protected areas (MPAn) are recognized as the key area-based management tool to preserve biodiversity, moderate exploitation of marine resources and increase ecological resilience to climate change. Although popu lation genetic studies could greatly benefit connectivity assessments between MPAs, genetic data are rarely used in MPAn planning. Here, we aim to illustrate the use of a multispecies and multilocus approach to provide recommendations for MPAn design, highlighting the importance of the species selected and the analyses performed. Our study is focused on the Southern Ocean, an area of keen multinational interest given its scientific significance, economic importance and its unique, shared legal status.
