Abstract excerpt
The present study aims to apply a DNA barcoding tool through amplifying two mitochondrial candidate genes i.e., COI and 16S rRNA for accurate identification of fish, aquatic molluscs and crustaceans of Sundarbans mangrove wetland, to build a reference library of fish and shellfishes of this unique ecosystems. A total of 185 mitochondrial COI barcode sequences and 59 partial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene were...
