Fish species authentication in commercial fish products using mass spectrometry and spectral library matching approach [PDF]
Seafood fraud has become a global issue, threatening food security and safety. Adulteration, substitution, dilution, and incorrect labeling of seafood products are fraudulent practices that violate consumer safety. In this context, developing sensitive, robust, and high-throughput molecular tools for food and feed authentication is becoming crucial for

Authentication of fish species using a simple PCR-RFLP method [PDF]
A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was developed as a tool to prevent commercial frauds in fish products. The PCR was used to ampli- fy the cytochrome b gene, part of the mitochondrial genome. The PCR products were digested with different restriction endonucleases (AluI, HaeIII, HinfI, Hsp92, Taql) to

Validation of FASTFISH-ID: A new commercial platform for rapid fish species authentication via universal closed-tube barcoding [PDF]
Seafood represents up to 20% of animal protein consumption in global food consumption and is a critical dietary and income resource for the world's population. Currently, over 30% of marine fish stocks are harvested at unsustainable levels, and the industry faces challenges related to Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing.

An economic analysis of private incentives to adopt DNA barcoding technology for fish species authentication in Canada [PDF]
The increasing spate of species substitution and mislabelling in fish markets has become a concern to the public and a challenge to both the food industry and regulators. Species substitution and mislabelling within fish supply chains occurs because of price incentives to misrepresent products for economic gain.

Labeling Compliance and Species Authentication of Fish Fillets Sold at Grocery Stores in Southern California [PDF]
Abstract Seafood mislabeling has numerous consequences, including economic deception and food safety risks. The focus of this study was to investigate fish species labeling, use of acceptable market names, and Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) compliance for fresh fish fillets sold at grocery store seafood counters in Southern California.

Labeling Compliance, Species Authentication and Net Weight Identification of Frozen Fish Fillets sold in Grocery Stores in Southern California [PDF]
Proper labeling of seafood is important to prevent economic deception, promote consumer awareness, and prevent exposure of at-risk groups to certain allergens and toxins. The objective of this study was to investigate prepackaged frozen fish sold in Southern California for Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) compliance, species authentication, use of ...

Molecular biomarkers for fish welfare and species authentication. [PDF]
Aquaculture is currently contributing almost half of fish consumed by the human population and it keeps growing more rapidly than other animal food production sectors. The introduction of molecular techniques, such as various genome projects, gene expression analysis and functional genomics, and the monitoring of stress levels through very early ...
