I totally missed this earlier, so here I am reposting it now. You’ve all seen the multiplying seafood mislabelling stories, but I bet you didn’t know DNA tools can tell you 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 your fish comes from (and whether the catch location is mislabelled), not just what it is!
New research, co-authored by @marscicaf.bsky.social, uncovers a significant issue in the seafood industry: geographical mislabelling in cod.
📢We need more transparency so consumers can make informed choices when purchasing seafood.

There're bigger issues at stake but I'll indulge a bit in nerdy self promotion. @marianilab.bsky.social
Happy that our paper got picked up by @dailymail.co.uk to change the seafood mislabelling narrative & acknowledge the issue of false geographic origins!🐟->🍣=?

Scientists warn over fake sushi sold in the UK - here's how to spot it
Scientists warn that tuna, salmon, and prawns are all being swapped out for cheaper alternatives in the UK. So, here's how you can tell whether you've got the real deal.

Another side of #seafood #mislabeling : @marscicaf.bsky.social (with @shump.bsky.social and others) emphasizes that, if we can’t fully trace #cod product origin, what chance do we have with dozens/hundreds of other less-studied traded species?

Haven't been much on bsky bc I feel social media are to blame for much of what is going on. But, wanted to share this;
🐟 We've pushed genetics for seafood mislabelling investigations & results are sobering! Our @theconversation.com piece @marianilab.bsky.social

The ‘sustainable’ cod in your shopping basket may be no such thing – new study reveals mislabelling
Nearly a third of the cod we tested had a different origin than the one reported.

🌟My keynote presentation from the ICES Annual Science Conference is now live on YouTube!
Dive into the world of DNA tools and discover how they can enhance transparency in the seafood industry🐟🔬
Despite being a bit intimidated, I didn't hold back on sharing my opinion...

Little did I know that I would come back transformed from this trip to Indonesia. I'm so happy to help illustrate the important topic of shark fisheries 🦈and the ways DNA can enhance transparency in this global trade!🌏🔬

A really captivating image by @marscicaf.bsky.social is the cover image in Con Letters featuring our article demonstrating that the DNA from 'sharkdust' left behind from processing can be used to identify species being traded conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @marianilab.bsky.social
