Establishing the age of cephalopods is crucial for understanding their life history, which can then be used assessment and management. This particularly true common cuttlefish
Molecular identifications based on two mitochondrial markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I -COI- and 16S ribosomal RNA gene -16S-) have been implemented to confirm the morphological identification of eight specimens collected in Central western Mediterranean. data show they belonged a recently resurrected species genus Ommastrephes , i.e., O. caroli known be distributed Atlantic Ocean Mediterranean Sea. Despite this, molecular analyses COI sequences evidenced presence potential genetic...
An integrative approach based on morphological and genetic analyses was undertaken for the first time to confirm species identification of Mediterranean samples belonging genus Tremoctopus. Sequences two mtDNA genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit (COI) 16S) were generated from samples. Both similarity-based identifications tree-based methods indicated that three females can be identified as Tremoctopus violaceus sensu stricto in agreement with their classifications. All sequences clustered...
