Abstract
The molecular approach provides an alternative method of easy identification of marine finfish, quickly and has high accuracy. This study represents the molecular identification based on the 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA partial region (12S–16S rRNA PR) then confirm by Cytochrome C Oxidase I (COI) of commercial marine fish of Jawa and Bali, Indonesia. We examined 169 samples and identified 78 new 12S–16S rRNA PR sequences confirmed by the COI region representing 136 genera, 50 families, and 12 orders. Carangids were dominated and followed by Lutjanids, Scombrids, and Serranids. We highlight the importance of implementing molecular identification of marine resources for complementing biodiversity assessment in Indonesian marine ecosystems. This study represents the first step toward the environment DNA (e-DNA) analysis in Java and Bali marine ecosystem using the 12S–16S rRNA PR.
