High-throughput identification of tuna (Thunnus spp.) larvae in the Gulf of Mexico using unlabelled-probe high-resolution melting analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The genus Thunnus (family Scombridae) comprises eight species of tunas of which all but one are targeted by industrialized fisheries. Although intact individuals of these species can be distinguished by morphological characteristics, researchers and managers often rely on dressed, frozen, juvenile or larval fish samples, which often necessitates the identification of molecular species.
