DNA Teenage detectives expose US fish fraud
Up to a quarter of fish in stores and restaurants in New York City was
mislabelled as
a more expensive variety, according to samples collected by two US
teenagers and
tested with genetic "barcoding" methods.
In the worst cases, two samples of filleted fish sold as red snapper,
caught mostly
off the southeast United States and in the Caribbean, were instead the
endangered
Acadian redfish from the North Atlantic, according to the tests,
revealed on Friday.
