Here is an exerpt from an article in Science News.  They mention Moleno and 
Tiaja as Mexican caves where the samples were taken.  The link for the article 
is below but you will have to subscribe to see it.

Keep them in the dark for a million years. Then cross two strains of 
cave-dwelling fish, now totally blind. It turns out some of their kids will be 
able to see. 

Fish and other creatures lose their sight after generations living in caves. 
Yet working vision genes from one parent can partly make up for defunct 
versions from the other parent, at least in young fish, reports Richard 
Borowsky of New York University. 

The vision rescue experiment works only if mom and dad come from different 
caves, says Borowsky.
