Molecular Identification and Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction of Marine Fish Species from the Fishing Port of Kutaradja, Banda Aceh

The enormous potential of marine resources possessed by Banda Aceh Province is expected to be utilised optimally. Accuracy in fish resource identification a critical requirement support their utilisation and preservation Province. In this study, molecular approach was carried out addition conducting morphological identification, commonly used several scientists. results were 47 COI sequences generated representing 33 genera, 19 families, five orders. From the resulting partial sequences, there one haplotype from Scombridae family (Auxis thazard), two haplotypes Carangidae (Elagatis bipinnulata Decapterus macarellus), Serranidae (Variola albimarginata Cephalopholis sonnerati). This study essential for fisheries biological studies other sustainable Aceh.
