Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the species of garfish in the waters of north Maluku by applying DNA bar-coding techniques. The method used in the study was the primary design of DNA extraction and isolation, and DNA amplification through polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that Gen Cyt b analysis amplified ± 350 bp amplicon and for the alignment analysis showed that the amplification sample sequence had similarity with the Cyt b gene sequence of Hemiramphus balao with value of 97%. Sequence analysis showed that the six specimens had very low genetic distances. It can be concluded that the isolate samples of garfish have a very close kinship.
