Use of capillary zone electrophoresis for fish species identification. Differentiation of flatfish species

TLDR
A capillary zone electrophoresis method is described for the analysis of fish sarcoplasmic proteins at low pH; the CZE protein profiles that resulted were specific for each species and could be employed for differentiation and identification purposes.
Abstract
A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method is described for the analysis of fish sarcoplasmic proteins at low pH. Aqueous extracts of eight flatfish species, containing the sarcoplasmic proteins, were subjected to the action of an electric field in a capillary electrophoresis apparatus ; the separated proteins were detected by means of an UV detector after less than 35 min. Acceptable resolution and reproducibility were obtained using low protein concentration (0.1 mg/mL) in the extracts analyzed. The CZE protein profiles that resulted were specific for each species and could be employed for differentiation and identification purposes.

Challenges in the identification of species of canned fish

TL;DR: The identification of fish species becomes a problem when the usual identifying characteristics are removed on processing and only a portion of flesh is available and DNA is also degraded.

Use of restriction fragment length polymorphism to distinguish between salmon species

TL;DR: Results indicate that it is possible to differentiate between all 10 salmon species and that the technique could be easily adopted by the food industry for analysis of processed salmon products.
