Butis genus is characterised by their small body size and morphological variability, allowing them to adapt to different habitats. This paper analyses the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene sequences and morphology of Butis for identification purposes and to understand genetic relationships. The morphological characteristics of Butis koilomatodon differed obviously from Butis humeralis and Butis butis. After classification based on morphology, the total deoxyribonucleic acid of fish samples was isolated, and the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I genes were successfully amplified using the polymerase chain reaction method. At approximately 617bp, the obtained mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene sequences were highly similar to the reference sequences on Genbank (85.90–100%). The phylogenetic graphic was divided into five distinct groups, where B. koilomatodon was grouped in one group; and B. humeralis and B. butis were grouped together. The results suggest that B. humeralis was an entirely different species from B. butis, with a mean genetic divergence of up to 14%. However, further studies using a combination of other types of deoxyribonucleic acid barcoding together with morphological features should be undertaken to confirm these findings. |
