The species were easily discerned by the number and distinct sizes of PCR products (Hyporhamphus melanochir, 443 bp; H. regularis, 462 and 264 bp). Although based on a single gene, the method will correctly identify the species of individuals in at least 96% of tests for H. melanochir and 94% of tests for H. regularis.enJournal article002001150910.1007/s10126-001-0059-50001730112000012-s2.0-003570781461387Donnellan, S.
