  • Dataset Abstract
    Cytochrome b sequences obtained from samples of Cichlasoma urophthalmus collected within the Florida Everglades and Central America. Samples were collected from fin clippings of fish caught by angling and/or cast netting. DNA was extracted, amplified and cytochrome b was sequenced. Data were used to determine the source for Mayan Cichlids in Florida.
