to identify the clones which are virulent. Therefore, this targeted gene-based method
can identify the virulent clone among the pathogens which can harm the corals. This
fingerprinting technique was used in the taxonomy of vibrios (Ilboudo et al. 2016). In
addition to that, closely related Vibrio species can be effectively differentiated with
the help of ribotyping (Austin et al. 1995). Genomic diversity of environmental Vibrio
strains associated with fish and oysters has also been studied by Austin et al. (1997)
