The invention relates to an extraction method of total 
genomic DNA of fish. The extraction method comprises the following specific steps: A, taking the fish tissue containing 
DNA, washing, 
grinding, and placing into a centrifuging tube; B, adding with Chelex-100 solution, carrying out boiling water bath for 15-20 min, adding with 
proteinase K solution, and carrying out water bath at 50-60 DEG C for more then 3h; C, sucking liquid in the centrifuging tube, placing the liquid into another centrifuging tube, and carrying out 
centrifugal separation; D, taking the supernate, adding with RNase solution, carrying out water bath at 37 DEG C for more than 45 min; E, adding with 
Tris saturated 
phenol solution, uniformly mixing, carrying out 
centrifugal separation, and taking the supernate; F, adding with a suitable amount of 
chloroform and isoamylol 
mixed solution, uniformly mixing, carrying out 
centrifugal separation, and taking the upper solution; G, adding with 
alcohol, and placing for 1h or a longer time; H, carrying out centrifugal separation, and discharging the supernate; I, adding with 
alcohol, carrying out centrifugal separation, and discharging the supernate; J, removing the 
alcohol, adding with 
sterile water, and storing for later use. According to the extraction method, a 
reagent is convenient to fetch, the 
DNA extraction effect is good, the integrity of 
DNA is high, especially the extraction can be carried out by taking scale as the 
raw material, and limitation from the quantity of a sample is avoided.
