DNA-based identification of Alaska skates (Amblyraja, Bathyraja and Raja: Rajidae) using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (coI) variation

Variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mt‐COI) gene was examined in 15 species of North Pacific skates. Thirteen species had unique sequences, indicating that a DNA‐based barcoding approach may be useful for species identification.
