Rapid discrimination between four Antarctic fish species, genus Macrourus, using HRM analysis
Correct identification of species forms the basis of all biological studies from individual genetic variation to population genetics, stock assessments and understanding whole ecosystems. This often relies on skilled taxonomists or molecular techniques to identify species, the time and cost of which...
