The Genus Lophius, belonging to the Lophiidae Family and commercially called anglerfish, has an important commercial value in the national and international markets. The seven species of the Genus are very similar and it is difficult to identify them by means of the traditional taxonomic methods also because fish are often commercialized decapitated. DNA analysis is one of the most useful tools for identifying animal species. In this work, in order to provide some more information on the DNA sequence of the aforesaid species, we use some universal primers to amplify the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of Lophius vomerinus (Valenciennes, 1837) and obtained the complete sequence by sequencing of PCR products.
