However, morphological identification of species in this genus is very difficult, especially when sharks have their heads and fins removed, making information about fishing, trading, and the evaluation of fishery effects on species conservation very difficult. This study's main objective is to develop molecular tools to identify these species using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. Both techniques result in good low-cost markers and may be very useful in future studies about the exploitation of these species.771-773engconservationforensic geneticsidentification of commercial speciesRhizoprionodonArtigo10.1111/j.1755-0998.2009.02524.xWOS:000265897200016Acesso restrito21615515755815230000-0001-8423-7299
