Molecular phylogeny of holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota (Brandt 1835) as inferred from cytochrome C oxidase I mitochondrial DNA gene sequences

Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota (Brandt 1835), white threads fish or locally known as bat puntil is currently considered as the most abundant sea cucumber species in Malaysia. This study aimed to generate the genetic profile of H. leucospilota from Malaysia and then to determine the phylog...
