Development of molecular genetic methods for the identification and quantification of fish and seafood

Objective

So far it is not possible to quantify reliably the constituents of fish or other seafood products. The methods used today rely on the quantification of substances highly susceptible to processing conditions. Due to its stability the quantification of DNA is a very promising attempt to overcome this problem. Practicable, fast and easy to use methods for quantification are in the interest of consumers and industry to prevent fraud and mislabelling. The technical progress in DNA-quantification offers the opportunity to develop methods applicable in routine analysis. The excellent access to the European market, to fisheries along with long experience in DNA analytic and state of theatre equipment will provide the fundament to achieve protocols and procedures for high throughput identification of fish and seafood and a sensitive , reliable technique to quantify species in fish and seafood products.
