A streamlined, bi-organelle, multiplex PCR approach to species identification: Application to global conservation and trade monitoring of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias (2003, methodology): “We speculate that this occurrence may have to do with some form of primer competition, possibly for DNA polymerase binding to several annealed primers (see Pank et al. 2001 and Shivji et al. 2002 for a more detailed explanation).”
Genetic profiling reveals illegal international trade in fins of the great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias (2006, background): “…identification of shark body parts (FAO 2000, NMFS 2001), and indicates that an increase in species-specific monitoring of domestic fin landings, perhaps aided by genetic profiling (Shivji et al. 2002, Chapman et al. 2003), is necessary to increase industry compliance with management measures.”
Wildlife DNA forensics—bridging the gap between conservation genetics and law enforcement (2009, background): “…applied to the identification of traded products that have lost identifying morphological characters, such as processed wood (Deguilloux et al. 2002), traditional medicines (TMs) (Hsieh et al. 2003, Wetton et al. 2004, Peppin et al. 2008) and shark fins (Shivji et al. 2002, Chapman et al. 2003).”
Shipboard identification of fish eggs and larvae by multiplex PCR, and description of fertilized eggs of blue marlin, shortbill spearfish, and wahoo (2005, methodology): “Following RochaOlivares (1998), Hare et al. (2000), Hill et al. (2001), Noell et al. (2001) and Shivji et al. (2002), a multiplex species-specific PCR method was designed to produce a single band of unique size for each of the 6 Pacific billfish species, 2 dolphinfishes, and the wahoo.”
The campaign to DNA barcode all fishes, FISH-BOL. (2009, background): “While there are some species-specific DNA probes available for sharks (Shivji et al., 2002), these would only have identified a minority of the species present and are unavailable for the most abundant species in this collection – the small shark Carcharhinus dussumieri (Müller & Henle).”
