The samples were collected during the period from January 2014 to June 2015. &lt;a href=&quot;http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatget.asp?genid=2298&quot;&gt;U.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatget.asp?spid=34406&quot;&gt;helvola&lt;/a&gt; differed from other carangid fish species by tongue, roof and floor of mouth are white to yellowish and other parts are dark, and the anal fin spines embedded. Gill rakers ranged from four to five on upper limb and 12 to 13 on lower limb of first gill arch. The DNA fingerprint was identified of U. helvola by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) with six primers: P1 (212), P2 (239), P3 (244), P4 (250), P5 (265), and P6 (347). The number of bands generated by primers was 51 and the size of bands ranged from 110 to 1440 bp.&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Applied Sciences}, author={Mohamed, Abdul-Razak M. and Al-Faisal, Abbas J. and Jaayid, Talib A.}, year={2017}, month={Apr.} }
