Abstract

Proper identification is expected to result in proper conservation of a species. Morphology-based identifications are problematic in many cases and often time-consuming. DNA barcoding came out to be the problem solver in these cases. A researcher can easily identify a species by comparing generated barcode sequences with the barcode sequences from a DNA barcode library. We have developed 17 DNA barcodes representing 15 different species of ornamental fishes from Manipur, India, which are deposited in GenBank and BOLD. The present study will help future researchers to identify their ornamental fishes properly without confusion and ultimately may help in proper conservation of ornamental fishes that are threatened.
