DNA Barcoding Sequences for Chondrichthyan Pet Food in Taiwan

73.9 KB of CO1 DNA barcode sequences used to identify shark and ray species in pet food products sold in Taiwan. The data is provided in FASTA format and was authored by Chia-Hao Chang. It was last updated on May 10, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Verify species composition in commercial pet food based on DNA barcoding results.
• Assess compliance with labeling and wildlife trade regulations for chondrichthyan products.
• Conduct phylogenetic analysis of shark and ray species found in consumer goods.
• Train or validate species identification models using mitochondrial CO1 sequences.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse.
• The 73.9 KB FASTA file contains the specific CO1 gene segments used in the published study.
• The dataset has a specific, recent last-updated date of 2026-05-10.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 73.9 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require verification.
