An Oceania study published in 2012 found that 33% of 1,215 samples of fish were mislabelled.
There have been numerous other examples of food fraud involving fish. Some people get caught, but many likely do not. Businesses spend many years and thousands of dollars building a reputable brand, and it can so easily be stolen.
The provenance stories of aquaculture products enrich brand stories for consumers. With Oritain our science can determine the origin of farmed aquaculture products and add real credibility to provenance claims.
Our science works across multiple farmed species including salmon, oysters and mussels.
