This study examined the phylogenetic relationship and identification of five Mahseer species (Tor putitoro, Tor tor, Tor khudree, Tor chelynoides and Neolissochilus hexogonolopis) using partial sequencing of a Cytochrome Oxidase I (COl) DNA barcodes. The sequence analysis data showed that 134 (21.61%) sites out of 628 sites were variable without insertion or deletion.
