MF23198High levels of mislabelling of shark flesh in Australian fish markets and seafood shops
We collected raw shark fillets from fish markets and takeaway shops across Australia to identify species of shark being sold and the labels used. Our study shows a high level of mislabelling, including misuse of the label ‘flake’ under the Australian Fish Names Standard, and various threatened species being sold. This has implications for consumers and identifies a potential impact of the Australia seafood industry on threatened species.
