Multiple fish species identified from China's roasted Xue Yu fillet products using DNA and mini-DNA barcoding: Implications on human health and marine sustainability

Results highlighted a very high mislabeling rate, which reached 58% even with the least stringent definition. Only 42% of the samples were identified as belonging to Gadiformes, while the others were Scorpaeniformes, Tetraodontiformes and Lophiiformes. Moreover, the implications on human health and marine sustainability were also discussed, given the identification of poisonous Lagocephalus spp. from 37 samples and the China's rising consumption of marine resources.
