Project details: fish and fish products
Details of Agency-funded projects under the Food Authenticity research programme (Q01).
Q01005: Speciation of processed meat and fish products based on the actin multigene family
This research project aims to develop a DNA based assay to quantitatively identify the species present in meat products.
Q01031: Development and validation of methodology for the confirmation of the origin of wild and farmed salmon and other fish
This research project produced validated methodology for authenticating wild and farmed salmon to allow independent verification of labelling claims.
Results available.
Q01037: Nitrogen factors for cod
This research project aims to determine the composition of certain commercially important fish species so that fish content declarations made on fish products can be made with confidence.
Q01051/61: Development of an assay for the quantitative determination of the white fish content of commercial products
These research projects aim to develop a method that can identify the type of white fish in fish products and determine the quantity present.
Q01068: Development of simple, rapid, immunoassays and DNA based confirmatory tests for marine fish speciation
This research project aims to develop tests for ten major marine fish species that can be used to identify the type of fish present in fish products.
Q01069: Application of a CHIP-based capillary electrophoresis system to enable simple PCR detection of fish species
The research project aims to improve an existing method for identifying fish species.
