This study examines the utility of morphology and DNA barcoding in species identification of freshwater fishes from north-central Nigeria. We compared molecular data (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I () sequences) of 136 de novo samples from 53 morphologically identified species alongside others in GenBank and BOLD databases. Using DNA sequence similarity-based (≥97% cutoff) identification technique, 50 (94.
