Abstract
Stranded Sunfish in North Bali with full body we collect to do molecular identification. Samples were amplified at the d-loop locus (control region) using the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method. Primers used in PCR are H16498 as primary front (forward) and L15812 as reverse primer. Similarity value of 95% after alignment with Mola ramsayi (accession number accession AY940824) on GenBank, and the gaps of the nucleotide just 1%. The stranded sunfish identified using partial sequence mtDNA is the same species as the species Mola ramsayi.
Highlights
Molidae is the family with large number of species, primarily pelagic members of the Tetraodontiformes
Stranded Sunfish was found in North Bali, and we collected some part that was used for molecular identification
In Indonesia, sunfish are found in southern coastal region of Bali, in the area of Lembongan and Penida Islands, which those islands are belong to Bali region [5]
Summary
Molidae is the family with large number of species, primarily pelagic members of the Tetraodontiformes. Members of Molidae distributed in both temperate and tropical waters. These coasltal regions include the Central and Southern of California , Malaga of Spain, Cape Town of South Africa, Kamogawa of Japan, Hua Lien of Taiwan’s, Camogli of Italy and Galapagos Islands of Ecuador’s. In Indonesia, sunfish are found in southern coastal region of Bali, in the area of Lembongan and Penida Islands, which those islands are belong to Bali region [5]. The species of sunfish found in coastal regions of Lembongan and Penida is Mola ramsayi, with density of 1 individual per 6.8 km [6]. The present study aimed to identify the species using molecular identification
