Marketplace substitution of Atlantic salmon for Pacific salmon in Washington State detected by DNA barcoding (2012, background): “DNA sequencing studies focused upon particular fisheries have also exposed consistently high levels of mislabelling; rockfish (Logan, Alter, Haupt, Tomalty, & Palumbi, 2008), tuna from sushi restaurants (Lowenstein, Amato, & Kolokotronis, 2009) and red snapper (Marko et al., 2004) in the USA, cod (M”
Molecular identification of vertebrate species by oligonucleotide microarray in food and forensic samples (2008, background): “Similarly, Nicolaisen et al. (2005), using probes ≈20–30 bases long (targeting the ITS2 rDNA region) for the detection of Fusarium species, found that only rare probes displayed cross-hybridization, with other species targets differing by up to three bases.”
DNA barcoding reveals a high incidence of fish species misrepresentation and substitution on the South African market (2012, background): “…that a variety of alternative species may masquerade under this title to increase their market appeal, a finding consistent with numerous reports of ‘snapper’ mislabelling from other parts of the world (Hsieh, Woodward, & Blanco, 1995; Logan et al., 2008; Marko et al., 2004; Wong & Hanner, 2008).”
DNA barcoding detects market substitution in North American seafood (2008, background): “This finding supports a previous study (Marko et al., 2004), which estimated that three quarters of all ‘‘red snappers” being sold in the US are mislabeled.”
Aquatic food security: insights into challenges and solutions from an analysis of interactions between fisheries, aquaculture, food safety, human health, fish and human welfare, economy and environment (2016, background): “Assuring authenticity also reduces the risk that species of conservation concern will be caught and marketed (Marko et al. 2004; Barbuto et al. 2010).”
Early visual deprivation affects the development of face recognition and of audio-visual speech perception (2010, background): “Congenital blindness has been found to change auditory and tactile abilities and their interaction (Dufour et al., 2005; Gougoux et al., 2004; ∗Corresponding author: Lisa Putzar, Biological Psychology and Neuropsychology, University of Hamburg, Von-Melle-Park 11, D20146 Hamburg, Germany.”
Molecular barcoding reveals mislabelling of commercial fish products in Italy (2010, background): “Considering the importance of fish trade in the globalization era, technological developments in food production, handling, processing and distribution by a global network of operators make it necessary to ensure the authenticity and the origin of fish and seafood products (Marko et al., 2004).”
The campaign to DNA barcode all fishes, FISH-BOL. (2009, background): “…cytochrome b sequencing showed that between 60 and 94% of fish labelled as red snapper Lutjanus campechanus (Poey) in the U.S.A. were mislabelled (Marko et al., 2004), and a recent COI barcoding study of fish samples from markets and restaurants in North America revealed that some 25% of…”
An impediment to consumer choice: Overfished species are sold as Pacific red snapper (2008, background): “Marko et al. (2004) found that 77% of fish products labeled true red snapper (L. campechanus) on the East Coast of the United States were products of different species.”
DNA Barcodes for Marine Biodiversity: Moving Fast Forward? (2010, background): “The famous example of fish sold as ‘red-snapper’ in the US and actually consisting of other species in 77% of cases (cyt-b sequences, [48]) was soon followed by other studies, which proved that seafood substitutions are common.”
The application of genetics to marine management and conservation: Examples from the Indo-Pacific (2014, background): “…the intentional mislabeling of species or accidentally misidentifying or misnaming catches, is under-reported globally, with most examples from North America (Marko et al. 2004, Wong and Hanner 2008, Hanner et al. 2011, Cline 2012) and Europe (Miller and Mariani 2010, Garcia-Vasquez et al. 2011).”
The promise of DNA barcoding for taxonomy. (2005, background): “The ability of barcodes to identify fragments of life has applications ranging from the resolution of cases of species substitution in the marketplace (Marko et al., 2004) to the protection of food security through, for example, screening animal feedstuffs for ruminant waste.”
The plastic human brain cortex. (2005, background): “Note the greater activation of the sensorimotor cortex (arrows) contralateral to the performing hand and the lack of activation of premotor and supplementary motor cortices in the dystonic patient.”
