Abstract
This study aimed to identify the teleost fish species sold in Bragança, a major fishing hub on the north coast of Brazil. The COI gene analysis was performed for the identification of fish species. The local market uses common names that are not accurate and do not reflect the diversity of the species. 204 sequences were obtained, with 119 haplotypes. 83 species were identified by comparing with public databases and constructing phylogenetic trees, with Carangidae being the most prevalent family. The study also found Haemulon atlanticus, Menticirrhus cuiaranensis and Hoplias misioneira, a newly described species from the Amazon basin, among the samples. Additionally, 73 commercial names were recorded, including 10 categories, and the illegal trade of Epinephelus itajara was detected. The DNA Barcode method proved to be effective for discriminating the species. The study highlights that common and commercial names are vague and underestimate the fish diversity, and that Brazil needs to revise its regulations for commercial and scientific names.
