The present study describes the successful design and testing of a quick, least‐invasive, reliable and inexpensive sampling procedure for Atlantic cod Gadus morhua . This protocol can be easily applied to postlarval fish following a simple three‐step procedure, without availing of commercial DNA extraction kits, while ensuring survival of sampled individuals.
