Table 2. The species identities of 43 processed samples.

For some recent sister species, even rapidly evolving regions like the CO1 gene do not have enough genetic differentiation to be able to easily distinguish between species. In these cases, samples were noted as being either species (e.g., Northern and southern red snapper (Lutjanus purpureus/campechanus) and rose and lane snapper (Lutjanus guttatus/synagris).
