Description DNA barcoding was successfully used for the accurate identification of chondrichthyans in the
Indian commercial marine fishery. About 528 specimens of 111 chondrichthyan species and 34
families, collected from the Indian EEZ, were barcoded for a 655 bp region of the mitochondrial
gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI). Generally, five specimens per species were barcoded,
but numbers ranged from 2 to 13. The average Kimura 2 parameter (K2P) distance separating
individuals within species was 0.32%, and the average distance separating species within genera
was 6.73%. Ten species were suggested as putative new species requiring formal descriptions.
Based on the morphology and molecular support, 11 elasmobranch species were confirmed first
records for Indian waters. The present study confirms the ability of DNA barcoding for the accurate
identification of sharks, rays, and their products from Indian waters.
