“…As such, provides a good example of the strengths and weaknesses of molecular markers to distinguish genetically closely related populations. With the ever rising consumer's interest in the origin of their seafood and enforcing legislations surrounding the illegal trade in protected and/or endangered species, the analytical framework described in this study can be readily used to tackle this issue in other species around the world (Behrmann et al, 2015;Ogden and Linacre, 2015;Pardo et al, 2016;Österblom, 2014).…”

“…While we agree that the assessment of the impacts of seafood mislabeling is paramount, we show that the main conclusion of the study, which hints at a positive ecological impact arising from misnaming traded finfish species, is not warranted by the data, and may inadvertently cause damage to public perceptions of seafood provision, sustainability, and marine resource management.The study by Stawitz et al (2016) is the latest attempt to assess the global environmental and economic consequences of seafood mislabeling, a conservation issue that has rapidly come to prominence over the last decade (Pardo et al 2016).

Recently, Stawitz et al. collated existing primary literature on DNA identification of finfish products and conducted a series of analyses to explore the environmental and economic ripples of species substitution. While we agree that the assessment of the impacts of seafood mislabeling is paramount, we show that the main conclusion of the study, which hints at a positive ecological impact arising from misnaming traded finfish species, is not warranted by the data, and may inadvertently cause damage to public perceptions of seafood provision, sustainability, and marine resource management.The study by Stawitz et al. (2016) is the latest attempt to assess the global environmental and economic consequences of seafood mislabeling, a conservation issue that has rapidly come to prominence over the last decade (Pardo et al. 2016). After perusing the article with keen interest, we identified a number of shortcomings that undermine the veracity of the authors' main conclusion: the idea that somehow seafood mislabeling has a positive impact on ecological sustainability.First, the use of the IUCN Red List is a very blunt tool for comparing the collated dataset. The "labeled" products are sourced from a range of stocks under varying degrees of demographic/management status, making them poorly comparable with genetically identified substitutes. Questions also hang over the "averaging" of IUCN status across genera/families ( Figure S1). Even assuming we could rely on IUCN status for the labeled "species," many species/stocks increasingly featuring on global markets have never been assessed by the IUCN. In fact, the surplus of 358 genetically identified samples that fall in the "Data-

“…Tais técnicas apresentam várias vantagens, como, alta estabilidade e facilidade relativa no isolamento, mesmo em alimentos processados. A técnica mais utilizada é a de sequenciamento de DNA pelo PCR, com alta confiabilidade nos resultados (Pardo et al, 2016, Changizi et al, 2013, Stamatis et al, 2015.…”

RESUMO. Fonte de proteína de alta qualidade, o pescado é um dos principais alvos de fraude na indústria alimentícia. A prática feita pela indústria do pescado visando lucro ocorre quando há modificações nas características do produto sem concordância oficial, a exemplo de troca de espécies, glaciamento não compensado, erro na rotulagem e adição de aditivos. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão literária com dados dos principais artigos relacionados às principais fraudes praticadas na indústria do pescado.Palavras chave: Troca de espécies, glaciamento, erro de rotulagem Fraud in the seafood processingABSTRACT. High quality protein source, seafood is one of the main targets of fraud in the food industry. The practice made by the seafood for profit industry, occurs when there are changes in the characteristics of the product without official agreement, such exchange of species, glazing not offset error in labeling and addition of additives. This paper presents a literature review with data of the main articles related to major frauds committed in the seafood industry. Keywords: Misdescription, glazing, mislabelingFraudes en el procesamiento de pescado RESUMO. Fuete de proteína de alta calidad, el pescado es uno de los principales albos de fraude en la industria alimentaria. La práctica realizada por la industria de la pesca visando lucro ocurre cuando hay modificaciones en las características del producto sin concordancia oficial, por ejemplo, el cambio de especies, glaciamiento no compensado, errores en el etiquetado e incorporación de aditivos. Este trabajo presenta una revisión literaria con datos de los importantes artículos relacionados a los principales fraudes practicados en la industria del pescado. Palabras clave: Cambio de especies, glaciamiento, error de etiquetado IntroduçãoO pescado é uma das principais fontes de proteína na alimentação humana, sendo reconhecido como um alimento de alto valor nutricional (Gonçalves, 2011). A conscientização das necessidades humanas, do culto ao bem estar, à saúde e à segurança alimentar fez elevar o consumo mundial de pescado nas últimas décadas (Barbosa, 2016). Pelo fato do pescado ser um alimento que está em alta, possuindo um alto valor comercial e da grande diversidade de espécies semelhantes, é alvo fácil para práticas fraudulentas, na qual podem acontecer em toda cadeia produtiva, desde o processamento à comercialização (Gonçalves, 2011).Segundo Riedel (1992), fraude é tudo aquilo que se desvia das características normais de determinado alimento. No entanto, o termo "características normais" é um tanto vago e discutível do ponto de vista comercial e industrial.
