Fig. 2. Number of fish species present in the checklist of the Bird’s Head region (grey), sequenced in the European Molecular Biology Laboratory database (EMBL) (light blue) and assigned in the samples (dark blue) (a) ; percentage of species present in the samples (dark blue), sequenced in EMBL (light blue) in each family of species (b) ; percentage of species found in the samples as a function of the percentage of sequenced species in EMBL (c). (b) The percentage values of the species found in the samples compared to the species present in the Bird’s Head region are displayed next to the points. The number of species per family in the checklist and the number of the species detected in the samples but not present in the checklist are both on the right of the figure in black and dark blue respectively. Only the sequences assigned to species using ecotag program (similarity >98%) are used in this figure. (c) Each point corresponds to a family of fish.
