Abstract

Imports of aquatic products continue increasing every year. When imported into Korea, the common name of a similar aquatic product is used instead of a scientific name, causing many confusions. In this study, in order to cope up with this issue, four countries with the highest number of imported bivalves were selected. The collected bivalves were totally classified into 10 orders, 17 families, 39 species. Also, the collected bivalves in the current study were identified by morphological classification. Moreover, sequence analysis of COI gene was carried out for all the collected species. The COI gene sequence was obtained with 3 type of primers. All COI sequences analyzed were subjected to molecular phylogenetic analysis. As a result, it was possible to draw conclusions very similar to the morphological classification results. Taken together, it is preferable to perform the universal primers and the lobo primer simultaneously for analyzing the COI sequence of bivalves. On the other hands, to obtain the results for scallops, the Matsumoto primers were available to conduct the analysis.
