Statistical Validation of the Identification of Tuna Species:  Bootstrap Analysis of Mitochondrial DNA Sequences

Sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene has been used to differentiate three tuna species:  Thunnus albacares (yellowfin tuna), Thunnus obesus (bigeye tuna), and Katsuwonus pelamis (skipjack). A PCR amplified 528 bp fragment from 30 frozen samples and a 171 bp fragment from 26 canned sampl...
