DNA Barcoding in Marine Perspectives Assessment and Conservation of
More than two third area of our planet is covered by oceans and assessment of marine biodiversity is a challenging task. With the increasing global population, there is a tendency to exploit marine recourses for food, energy and other requirements. This p

Preface
When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished. —Theodore Roosevelt We know that when we protect our oceans we’re protecting our future. —Bill Clinton
The oceans cover more than 70 % of our planet’s surface area, and the massive marine and coastal environments are blessed with diverse marine life. To meet the demands of increasing population we are becoming more reliant on the marine bioresources. For example only the marine fish and invertebrates provide more than 2.6 billion people with about 20 % per capita protein consumption. To make the marine environment sustainable, the proper assessment and conservation of marine biodiversity is of prime importance. In the last decade, the molecular technique of DNA barcoding has become an effective tool in the assessment and con
