Analysis of 16 samples of red tuna provided by the Lazzaro Spallanzani Research Institute and 6 samples of yellowfin tuna previously characterized at the University of Siena. Only numerical values referring to the sizes, in bp, of the ampiflied TBP fragments are shown.

Light grey columns: commonly shared peaks.

Dark grey columns with white numbers: species-specific diagnostic fragments.
