Summary Museum fish specimens are invaluable resources for genetic studies, but extraction of high quality DNA is often problematic. In this study, hairtail fishes of the genera Trichiurus and Lepturacanthus (family: Trichiuridae) representing a wide range of preservation histories and three different methods of preservation were analyzed for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extraction, amplification and sequencing of marker genes. A total of six protocols, including a commercially available kit, were compared in this study. Amplification of conserved genes such as16S rRNA and 12S rRNA were done using polymerase chain reaction with sequence analyses using automated capillary sequencing techniques. The results show that mtDNA extraction, amplification and sequencing of conserved genes could be obtained successfully from frozen (−20°C) preserved specimens (1–5 years) and also from ethanol (95%) fixed specimens (2–5 years) but not from any of the formalin (10%) fixed specimens (3–4 years). However, specimens that have been fixed for only 7 days in buffered formalin (10% formalin with phosphate buffer containing 173 mm salt) and ethanol (95%) could yield successful mtDNA extraction, amplification and sequence information of both 16S rRNA and 12S rRNA.
