LABELFISH – the “Atlantic Network on Genetic Control of Fish and Seafood Labelling and Traceability”, was a research Project under Atlantic Area – Transnational Programme, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It aims was to set up a network of entities with an interest in the development of a common strategy and in the use of standardised, innovative analytical techniques to control genetic traceability and labeling of seafood products. The outcome of this work was to create a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the genetic identification of fish species using DNA barcoding (mitochondrial cytochrome-c-oxidase i sequencing).
