<p>Anchovy is one of the economically important fish in the western part of the northern coast of Central Java.

The descriptive exploratory method was applied in this study with a random sampling technique, while the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was used for molecular identification. An anchovy sample molecularly identified from each region was found by sampling, including BB 3, PML 2, BTG 1, BTG 2, BTG 4, TGL 2, TGL 4, KDL 1, and KDL 4. The base-pair length of 10 anchovy samples from the COI gene amplification result was 600-700 bp.

Therefore, it is concluded that there were at least four different species of anchovy on the northern coast of Java.
