Abstract
Chasmagnathus convexus(De Haan, 1835) is a monotypic species belonging to the family Varunidae. Chasmagnathus convexus has been designated as a marine protected species and endangered species by the Wildlife Protection and Management Act (2005) of Korea due to its declining population in the wild. This declining population is a result of habitat loss and environmental change. This study is the first to research the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) in Korean C. convexus. The maximum intra-specific genetic variation among all C. convexus individuals was 1.8%, while the inter-genetic variation among the five varunid species was in the range of 16.0-23.7%. The COI barcodes will be used as a reference for restoration and conservation studies of Korean C. convexus.
