Abstract. Andriyono S, Alam MJ, Sumartiwi L, Mubarak AS, Pramono H, Suciyono, Kartika GRA, Sari AHW, Sektiana SP. 2022. The diversity of Carangidae (Carangiformes) was revealed by DNA barcoding collected from the traditional fish markets in Java and Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2799-2806. Biodiversity has been utilized various ways, including fulfilling protein needs for coastal communities. For island Java, with largest population Indonesia, intensive fisheries Sea are sufficient to support domestic food needs. This Carangid study is beginning identify commercial which have exploited a long time. In this study, identification carried out molecularly Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene region universal primary set found great variety Carangids species. Thirty-three specimens identified, indicating two suborder groups, Caranginae (31) Scomberoidenae (2). group more dominated most types Megalaspis cordyla (3), Atule mate Decapterus macarellus (4). Meanwhile, Scomberoidinae Scomberoides commersonnianus tala. also species that potential be ciguatera poisoning agents need watched (Decapterus Selar crumenophthalmus). Food safety sector received considerable attention Fishery commodities highly polluted habitats among chains increasing heavy metals concentration other residual chemical compounds may impact human health.
