Abstract
Methods for seafood authentication are increasingly demanded in food sciences. In this study we have detected mislabelling for eight out of 22 Amazonian fish species in two Brazilian markets, employing species-specific DNA markers. Mislabelling was most likely due to inadvertent errors in fish classification. These results emphasize the convenience of applying DNA methodology for seafood authentication.
