Using DNA barcoding to assess Caribbean reef fish biodiversity: expanding taxonomic and geographic coverage.
This paper represents a DNA barcode data release for 3,400 specimens representing 521 species of fishes from 6 areas across the Caribbean and western central Atlantic regions (FAO Region 31). Merged with our prior published data, the combined efforts result in 3,964 specimens representing 572 specie...
