IDENTIFICATION OF THE FRESHWATER FISH BANGANA ARIZA USING COI GENE SEQUENCING
V. N. Magare
Abstract :
Bangana ariza is a common freshwater fish in India and is also used for aquaculture. Owing to the diversity in body colour and the stripe pattern, its identification could lead to an error. Sequence diversity in the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is routinely used for identifying and classifying animals such as fish. An attempt was made in the present study to investigate the efficacy of COI gene in DNA barcoding to identify the samples of Bangana ariza collected from two different water bodies in Maharashtra. Sequence of the amplified COI region when analyzed by BLAST tool was able to accurately identify the fish samples based on their sequence similarities.
