Abstract
This work intends to provide an updated and extensive overview on the PCR-based methods for fish and fishery products authentication. Various techniques such as PCR-sequencing, Multiplex-PCR, PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP, RAPD, Real-Time PCR and PCR lab-on-a-chip are described and discussed. Moreover, commercial PCR kits for fish species identification are provided in this review. These methods could allow consumers protection against fraudulent practices in the fishery industry and enforce national and trans-national laws and regulations.
