Abstract
DNA Barcoding is a system for species identification focused on the use of a short standardized genetic region acting as a barcode in a similar way that universal product code are used by the supermarket scanners to distinguish commercial products. DNA barcoding is increasingly used to obtain taxonomic information about an unidentified organism. This tool has been developed for the identification of eukaryotes including plant and animals. The Standard region of mitochondrial DNA, Cytochrome C, Oxidase subunit 1 (COI) sequence is effective for identification of Fish and was used in the study.
