To conserve species and determine suitable management plans, the
insidious and accurate identification of a species is fundamental. Despite the
commercial importance of Lutjanidae family, the phylogeny of Lutjanidae has
not been fully studied. Thus, this study focused on the phylogeny of this family
using mitochondrial 16S rRNA sequences in four species; Lutjanus fulviflamma,
Lutjanus monostigma, Lutjanus bohar and Lutjanus kasmira.The generated
bands of 16S rRNA in the four species prolong from 561 to 575 bp. The
sequences of 16S rRNA were displayed in GenBank/NCBI to gain the accession
numbers (OQ803478.1 - OQ803481.1). The average frequencies of adenine (A),
thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G) were 28.91, 21.93, 25.51 and 23.65%,
respectively.
