Marine forensics program : development of a biochemical method to distinguish wild from cultured fish, final report Development of a biochemical method to distinguish wild from cultured fish, final report

"This study reports the results of a two year cooperative research effort between the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Charleston Laboratory's Marine Forensics Program, and the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department (SCWMRD), to develop a biochemical method to distinguish wild fish from those that were "farm-reared" (cultured) using the edible portion of the fish as the test material. This research effort was initiated because of concern by SCWMRD that a successful hybrid striped bass aquaculture industry might result in an increase in the illegal sale of wild striped bass and its hybrids from SC waters"--Executive summary.
