Molecular identification of marine fish from two fish landing sites in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Main Article Content
Abstract
A total of 16 species were identified, each representing a different genera, spanning 10 families and 8 orders. Most samples exhibited genetic similarity and identity values above 97%, confirming reliable species-level identification. Interspecific genetic distances exceeded 0.1, consistent with standard thresholds for species delineation. Notably, two species were classified as near-threatened and endangered, highlighting conservation concerns. These findings demonstrated the utility of COI barcoding as a genetic tool for monitoring marine biodiversity in Indonesia. This approach is supported sustainable fisheries management and the conservation of threatened marine species in Indonesia.
