| Description: |
Sepiolid paralarvae are poorly studied, at least in part, because of the difficulty of accurate identification using morphological analysis. To unravel the biodiversity of sepiolid paralarvae collected in the Ría de Vigo during the upwelling season (2012-2014), and to overcome the difficulties of traditional identification, sepiolid paralarvae were identified by amplifying the barcoding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). In addition, morphometric analysis was used to identify morphometric patterns useful for paralarval species identification. [Source: Hydrobiologia]
