CHAPTER 5 GENETIC IDENTIFICATION OF FISH HARVESTED FROM OFFSHORE AQUACULTURE: AN EXAMPLE INVOLVING RED DRUM, SCIAENOPS OCELLATUS, FROM THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO

ABSTRACT A total of 31 nuclear-encoded microsatellites and an ~370 base pair fragment from the 'control' region of mitochondrial (mt)DNA were employed to resolve potential forensic issues relating to legal sale of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) harvested from offshore aquaculture operation...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT A total of 31 nuclear-encoded microsatellites and an ~370 base pair fragment from the 'control' region of mitochondrial (mt)DNA were employed to resolve potential forensic issues relating to legal sale of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) harvested from offshore aquaculture operations in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Exclusion analyses demonstrated that only 16 microsatellites (13 if mtDNA was employed) were necessary to exclude a sample of 101 'wild' red drum from Biloxi Bay, Mississippi, as having been produced by broodfish in a hatchery near Corpus Christi, Texas;
