Nowadays, marine ecosystem monitoring and assessment are increasingly depending on variety of molecular tools. With these background, DNA barcoding play a key role in species identification with increasing speed and accuracy, and although the suitability for developing genetic tools like genomic AMBI (gAMBI). Presently we have submitted 13 benthic polychaete species using mtCOI to GenBank. Of these, nine species were newly submitted, and hence they act as a benchmark and reference organism for identifying respective polychaete species worldwide in the near future. Based on that, our study results tend to be helpful for motivating among the researcher in order to implementing the genomic AMBI (gAMBI).
