Abstract

Now, more is known to science about the life of fishes that thrive in the ocean depths as a group of marine researchers have prepared the genetic fingerprints of 88 species of fishes. The researchers had earlier prepared the genetic database of 32 species, especially elasmobranchs or cartilaginous fishes which included sharks, rays and sakes. This time, the researchers from the National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, Kochi centre and the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi, focused more on bony fishes thus taking the total number of deep-sea fishes whose genetic characters have been decoded to 120 species.
