This publication (open access) describes the launch of FISH-FIT. FISH-FIT is a biobank of seafood species samples which are linked to an authentic database of morphology, genetic information, and other physical characteristics. It also contains a library of PCR analytical methods. It was developed under an EU-funded project and free access is currently only available to EU regulatory bodies, although wider access is planned. The databank is hosted by the Max Ruber Institute.
FISH-FIT has been added to FAN’s index of authenticity reference databases, a useful search tool for existing databanks or commercial testing services..
