Popis: Sequences of the mitochondrial gene COI (DNA Barcode) were used to identify species of rays and skates commercialized in fishmongers in Brazil. The comparisons of the obtained sequences with previously published data available in NCBI and BOLD showed that the fish products corresponded to four species, Hypanus dipterurus, Potamotrygon motoro, Paratrygon ajereba and Gymnura altavela, the last of which is classified as vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List and therefore should not be marketed in accordance with the MMA ordinance 445/2015.
Highlights • Genetic markers used in the identification of fishery products. • Methods showed effective to identified fish species. • Marketing of fishery products with changed identity. • The control of commercialized rays can be done by applying the DNA barcode technique. • DNA Barcode was applied in the genetic identification of endangered species.
