Recent advances in the use of DNA and other techniques in the seafood supply chain

There have been several recent reports in the media concerning mislabelled fish, both in the national and international press. Some reports reveal obvious fraud where an expensive species is substituted with a cheaper one such as pangasius being sold as cod, or inadvertent substitution of species, where it is equally possible that the expensive species is sold as the cheap species, and vice versa. This fact sheet outlines some of the techniques currently used to accurately identify seafood and seafood products, and reviews some of the benefits and limitations of the latest DNA and other techniques used for identification purposes within commercial, enforcement and fisheries science.

Independent Fishmongers Study

In the summer of 2005, The Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) commissioned research to examine the independent retail seafood market. This research sought to establish the true value share of this sector and understand how independent fishmongers have adapted in order to remain competitive. The findings show that the sector consists of a number of strong, thriving independent fishmongers and despite difficult trading conditions in recent times, many have carved a niche position within their locality. Seafood in general and specifically independent seafood retailers are in a strong position to capitalise on the well documented trend towards healthier lifestyles being pursued by consumers.
