Abstract
Assessing the distribution and diversity of cephalopods using traditional approaches(standard fishing, market collection, and DNA barcoding) is time-consuming. EnvironmentalDNA (eDNA) assays are non-invasive, fast, and can capture the diversity of the species of interest using a specific primer-set. For Cephalopods, standardization of such primers hasbeen challenging because of a poor database of several markers, and the absence of complete mitochondrial genomes for its design. In this fast-talk, I will briefly talk about our new 87 complete mitochondrial genomes from specimens correctly identify and withmuseum vouchers, and how these mitogenomes promise toresolve the database limitationfor eDNA assays in decapodiform cephalopods.
