In the first phase of this study, a molecular database for the fish species of Merbok River was completed through the expansion of the existing reference database of 12S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene for the 120 documented species morphologically identified in previous studies in combination with existing Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) database.
