The identification of fish larvae from two neotropical hydrographic basins using traditional morphological taxonomy and DNA barcoding revealed no conflicting results between the morphological and barcode identification of larvae. A lower rate (25%) of correct morphological identification of eggs as belonging to migratory or non-migratory species was achieved. Accurate identification of ichthyoplankton by DNA barcoding is an important tool for fish reproductive behaviour studies, correct estimation of biodiversity by detecting eggs from rare species, as well as defining environmental and management strategies for fish conservation in the neotropics.
利用传统形态分类学和DNA条形码技术对来自两个新热带水文流域的鱼类幼体进行鉴定，结果显示幼体的形态鉴定和条形码鉴定之间没有冲突。对于卵属于洄游或非洄游物种的正确形态鉴定率较低（25%）。通过DNA条形码准确鉴定浮游鱼类是鱼类繁殖行为研究的重要工具，通过检测稀有物种的卵来正确估计生物多样性，以及为新热带地区的鱼类保护确定环境和管理策略。
