Abstract

The article presents a study on hybrid identification between Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum and Pseudoplatystoma Corruscans. The study aims to develop markers to identify the species' hybrids through the use of multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) protocols. The results of the study show some differences in the composition of nucleotides of both species.
