“…The dominant families, however, varies among biogeographical provinces as Sundaland is dominated by the Cyprinidae (231 species; changes during ontogeny, fish identification is not an easy task. After almost a decade, it has become evident that DNA barcoding presents several advantages compared to morphological characters for species identification including: (1) intraspecific phenotypic variation often overlaps that of sister taxa in nature, which can lead to incorrect identifications or species delineations [21,22], (2) DNA barcodes are effective whatever the life stages under scrutiny [23,24] or available biological materials for identification [25,26], (3) spectacular levels of cryptic diversity have been frequently reported using DNA barcoding [21,[27][28][29][30][31].…”

With 1172 native species, the Indonesian ichthyofauna is among the world’s most speciose. Despite that the inventory of the Indonesian ichthyofauna started during the eighteen century, the numerous species descriptions during the last decades highlight that the taxonomic knowledge is still fragmentary. Meanwhile, the fast increase of anthropogenic perturbations during the last decades is posing serious threats to Indonesian biodiversity. Indonesia, however, is one of the major sources of export for the international ornamental trade and home of several species of high value in aquaculture. The development of new tools for species identification is urgently needed to improve the sustainability of the exploitation of the Indonesian ichthyofauna. With the aim to build comprehensive DNA barcode libraries, the co-authors have started a collective effort to DNA barcode all Indonesian freshwater fishes. The aims of this review are: (1) to produce an overview of the ichthyological researches conducted so far in Indonesia, (2) to present an updated checklist of the freshwater fishes reported to date from Indonesia’s inland waters, (3) to highlight the challenges associated with its conservation and management, (4) to present the benefits of developing comprehensive DNA barcode reference libraries for the conservation of the Indonesian ichthyofauna.

“…The high price of shark in stimulates the practice of inning, in which the ins are extracted and the shark carcass is discarded. The thriving Asian market for shark in stimulates high prices for the byproduct and favors predatory ishery practices [27,28,32,33].…”

“…Molecular identiication is now used widely in research on elasmobranchs, based on a variety of genetic techniques [14,32,[60][61][62][63][64]. The most widely used approach, which is both simple and efective and provides a good diagnosis of most animal taxa, is DNA barcoding [12], which is based on the analysis of a small fragment of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of approximately 648 nucleotides.…”

“…The accumulating data already support applications of DNA barcoding which reveal market substitution (Wong and Hanner, 2008;Carvalho et al 2011a;Hanner et al 2011a) and enhancing our understanding of fisheries exploitation (Holmes et al 2009;Doukakis et al 2011). Yet the broad realization of benefits is predicated on a sustained effort to complete the construction of reference sequence library, which is the major focus of many articles in this special issue.…”
