The paper assembles complete mitochondrial genomes for three searobin species and performs a phylogenetic analysis to clarify their relationships within the Prionotinae subfamily.

The paper develops a multiplex PCR assay to identify seven Macrobrachium prawn species and detects illegal trade in Peruvian prawns.

The paper develops and validates species-specific primers for eDNA monitoring and authentication of 10 Peruvian marine species, achieving 100% accuracy and no cross-species amplification.

The paper uses mitochondrial genomes to confirm the close relationship between Pollicipes elegans and P. pollicipes, with P. polymerus as a basal branch.
