Figure 4. BLAST result profiles using the PCR amplicons of the eel mitochondrial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes (Figure 4a and 4b, respectively).

Figure 4

The profiles indicate that the full PCR amplicon of the eel mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene only matches the Monopterus albus mtDNA although the identity is only 88%. The partial sequence of this amplicon (approximately 200 bp) matched the mitochondrial genomes of many other species. The full PCR amplicons of the eel mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene matched the Monopterus albus ribosomal RNA gene with 100% identity (Table 4). Therefore, the eel species was Monopterus albus.
