AI Article Synopsis
- Atlantic cod is a popular fish in Europe, but it is frequently substituted with other species, leading to issues of food fraud.
- A study analyzed 252 cod fillet samples from Germany, the Netherlands, and France, using DNA barcoding to check for mislabeling.
- Results showed Germany and the Netherlands had zero mislabeling, while France experienced a significant increase, highlighting the need for better seafood regulations despite successes in some countries.
Article Abstract
Atlantic cod, , is a highly appreciated fish in European seafood markets and is one of the most substituted fish species in the world. Fraud have been detected in European markets in the last decade, finding different substitute species sold as or Atlantic cod on the label. In this study, we analyzed 252 samples of fresh and frozen cod fillets sold in Germany, the Netherlands, and France using DNA barcoding. Different trends were found in different countries: while the level of mislabeling found in Germany and the Netherlands remained at zero in the last years, a significant increase was found in the French markets comparing the current results with previous studies on fillets in France. On the one hand, this mislabeling proves the need to encourage European efforts to control seafood authenticity; on the other, zero mislabeling in two countries shows the success of current European regulations.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the economic impact of Atlantic cod, highlighting its susceptibility to market fraud and the importance of quickly identifying its authenticity.
- - Researchers explored the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems with different spectral ranges to assess the authenticity of frozen and thawed Atlantic cod fillets, finding that Vis-NIR data produced better results than SWIR data.
- - The models developed using Vis-NIR data, particularly Random Forest and Linear Discriminant Analysis, achieved 100% accuracy, indicating that HSI could be an effective and efficient method for detecting the authenticity of Atlantic cod.

Nematodes pose significant challenges for the fish processing industry, particularly in white fish. Despite technological advances, the industry still depends on manual labor for the detection and extraction of nematodes. This study addresses the initial steps of automatic nematode detection and differentiation from other common defects in fish fillets, such as skin remnants and blood spots.

The aim of this work is the description and characterization of a severe microsporidian infection in a batch of salted and dried cod. Particularly, the case involves a batch of approximately 800 kg obtained from (Food and Agriculture Organization Zone 61 - Northwest Pacific Ocean), which, after rehydration and sectioning operations, underwent routine company checks before packaging. In about 20% of the samples, the presence of whitish nodules with a diameter ranging from 1 to 2 mm was observed on the surface of the fillets and in cross-section.
