摘要

Procedure for the genetic identification of atlantic european spider crab (maja brachydactyla). A protocol has been developed for the genetic identification of european atlantic spider crab (maja brachydactyla) against the other species of the genus found in the mediterranean (m. Squinado, m. Crispata and m. Goltziana). These species constitute a commercial resource of great value; its identification is fundamental to enable its traceability and proper labeling and to guide its management and conservation. The protocol consists of amplifying a 671 bp region of the 16s gene of mitochondrial dna, whose nucleotide sequence is characteristic of each of the 4 species. In particular, to differentiate m. Brachydactyla, specific primers have been designed to amplify an internal fragment of 223 bp. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
