That's a big mistake that cost a ton of money... I guess in the future they are going to be examining DNA and making sure they have the correct species of fish when restocking. Oops!

I fish Lake Ontario and we have an aggressive stocking program in place but I have never heard of anything like what you mentioned above. Stocking the wrong fish? Geezz. Great article - thank you for sharing. Kind regards, Chad Wow - as sad as that is, it is almost kind of funny they could mess up such an important thing.

He proposed the original BARCODE data standard (ref 1 below), explicitly calling for the accession of both vouchers and trace files with DNA barcodes for quality assessment and quality control (QA/QC) primate cell lines. A recent paper (ref 2 below) addresses QA/QC in animal cell lines including with DNA barcoding. 1. Lorenz, J.G., W.E. Jackson, J.C. Beck and R. Hanner. 2005.
