Genetic Fingerprinting Laboratory

About

The Genetic Fingerprinting Laboratory of DA-NFRDI is a service-type Laboratory which caters to requests for Identification from BFAR Central Office and Regional Offices as well as other Government Agencies to help in the implementation of fisheries projects, policies, and management plans.

Objectives

To be able to provide taxonomic identification of fish and other fishery products to BFAR Central Office and Regional Offices and other government agencies concerning fisheries/aquatic resources.

Ongoing Project

FISHCODES: DNA barcoding services in support of fisheries management and aquaculture production for food security (Genetic Fingerpriting Laboratory)

- The primary objective was to offer genetic identification to requesting parties approved by the management for analysis.

Completed
Genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history of ludong, Cestraeus spp., in Aparri and Isabela, Philippines
- To investigate the genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and demographic history of ludong by mitochondrial DNA sequence inference.

FishTRACE: Monitoring and Identification of Commercial fishery products for export using DNA Barcodes
- The primary objective is to conduct an investigation using barcoding on the prevalence of mislabeling in commercial fishery products and as a tool in response to IUUF

Biotechnology for Shrimp: Utilizing Molecular Technologies to Elucidate Shrimp Immunity and Develop Disease Diagnostics
