Seafood serves as a valuable protein source for human population. Among the seafood, tuna is considered as one of the commercially important species worldwide. Five tuna species namely Euthynnus affinis, Auxis thazard, Katsuwonus pelamis, Thunnus albacares and Thunnus obesus are commonly landed in the Tuticorin coast of Tamil Nadu. Among the five species, the exportable quality and grade of the meat is as follows: T. albacares> T. obesus> K. pelamis> E. affinis> A. thazard. In recent years, mislabeling is done by replacing high value tuna meat with low value tuna meat or with other low value fish meat to earn illegally. Usually, the species identification is done based on the morphological features, but this cannot be applied for the processed fish. PCR based identification methods have gained importance in the identification of fish species. PCR-AFLP is one of the molecular based methods, which can differentiate even closely related species. In this study, SE-AFLP method was employed to differentiate the above five tuna species viz., E. affinis, A. thazard, K. pelamis, T. albacares and T. obesus. Species specific AFLP marker was obtained in the primer combination of EcoR1 for fresh tuna. Band Sharing Index (BSI) analysis was also performed to find the similarities and variation among the five tuna species. AFLP profile of unknown tuna products was compared with the standard AFLP profile and the tuna species authentication was done by analysing BSI score.

The length–weight relations of ten fish species representing eight genera and four families and that formed the backbone of the subsistence fishery in the Lakshadweep islands were estimated. These fishes which included four species of tuna [Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus, 1758); Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788); Auxis thazard (Lacepède, 1800); Euthynnus affinis (Cantor, 1849)], three species of needlefishes[Ablennes hians (Valenciennes, 1846); Tylosurus crocodilus (Péron et Leseur, 1821); Tylosurus acus melanotus (Bleeker, 1850)], two species of bait fishes [Spratelloides delicatulus (Bennett, 1832); Spratelloides gracilis (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846)], and one species of halfbeak (Hemiramphus archipelagicus Collette et Parin, 1978) contributed to 96% of the total fish landings. The samples were collected from fish landing centers of ten inhabited islands of Lakshadweep from 2015 to 2017. Katsuwonus pelamis showed isometric growth, S. delicatulus and S. gracilis exhibited positive allometry, while negative allometric growth was seen in other species. The coefficient a of the LWR ranged from 0.001 (A. hians) to 0.035 (T. albacares), while b ranged from 2.7 (T. acus melanotus) to 3.4 (S. delicatulus). The results of the presently reported study provide useful biological information on the stock of ten commercially important pelagic fish species supporting the traditional fisheries in Lakshadweep waters.

Abstract Authenticity is crucial to the seafood industry, as substitution and mislabeling have important economic, environmental, and food safety consequences. Toaddress this problem, protein profiling and softwarealgorithm techniques were developed to classify fishmuscle samples by species. The method uses water-based protein extraction, chip-based microfluidic electrophoresis (Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer) for the analysis of high abundance fish muscle proteins, and a novel data analysis method for species-specific proteinpattern recognition. The method's performance in distinguishing commercially important fish from commonly reported substitutions was evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy determinations with all three performance measures at >98% for commonsubstitutions. This study demonstrates that uncookedseafood products of commercially important species of catfish, snapper, and grouper can be rapidly distinguished from commonly substituted species with a high level of confidence. A tiered testing approach toseafood species verification by sequentially applying a rapid screening method and DNA testing is proposed to more effectively ensure accurate product labeling.

Kendari merupakan salah satu basis perikanan tangkap di Kawasan Timur Indonesia yang berhadapan langsung dengan Laut Banda. Produksi perikanan tuna di Kendari cukup besar, hal ini dikarenakan alat tangkap yang digunakan merupakan alat tangkap yang dikhususkan untuk menangkap ikan tuna, yaitu huhate, pukat cincin mini, dan pancing tonda. Pada bulan April, Agustus, dan Desember 2007 dilakukan penelitian dengan mengambil pengambilan contoh di PPS Kendari. Pengambilan contoh dilakukan secara acak terhadap kapal-kapal yang mendarat pada minggu terakhir bulan April, Agustus, dan Desember. Masing-masing jenis kapal (huhate, pukat cincin mini, dan tonda) diambil satu unit sebagai contoh. Jenis data yang diambil adalah aspek eksploitasi yang meliputi upaya, jumlah, dan jenis hasil tangkapan dan daerah penangkapan. Data lain yang dikumpulkan adalah produksi tuna tahunan dari PPS Kendari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produksi tuna selama 10 terakhir cenderung naik, pada tahun 2007 mencapai 8.381 ton. Daerah operasi penangkapan huhate dan pukat cincin mini meliputi perairan Sulawesi Tenggara dan Sulawesi Tengah, adapun pancing tonda sampai Laut Banda. Rata-rata CPUE huhate rata-rata 6,6 ton/trip, rata-tara CPUE pukat cincin mini 0,9 ton per setting dan rata-rata CPUE pancing tonda 1,3 ton/trip. Penangkapan tuna terjadi sepanjang tahun, puncak musim tahun 2007 terjadi pada bulan September dengan indeks mencapai 0,4. Jenis tuna yang tertangkap huhate, pukat cincin mini, maupun tonda ada empat, yaitu ikan cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis), madidihang (Thunnus albacares), tuna mata besar (Thunnus obesus), dan tongkol (Auxis sp.). Komposisi dari keempat jenis tuna tersebut didominansi oleh ikan cakalang yaitu mencapai lebih dari 65%.

Para el presente estudio, fueron adquiridos 276 atunes, entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2002, en mercados de peces, siendo 107 ejemplares de Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus, 1758), 5 Auxis thazard (Lacepède, 1800), 92 Thunnus albacares (Bonnaterre, 1788), 30 Thunnus atlanticus (Lesson, 1830), 25 Thunnus obesus (Lowe, 1839), y 17 Thunnus thynnus (Linnaeus, 1758) pescados en el municipio de Cabo Frio, Estado de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Cincuenta y seis (20,28%) de los peces fueron parasitados por lo menos con una especie de parásito. Se colectaron un total de 196 nemátodos larvarios y fueron identificados como: Anisakis (Rudolphi, 1809, det. Krabbe, 1878), A. physeteris Baylis 1923, Contracaecum sp. y Raphidascaris sp. Este estudio es el primer registro en Brasil con nuevos registros para los hospederos de A. simplex en T. albacares, T. atlanticus y T. obesus, de A. physeteris en T. albacares, de Contracaecum sp. en T. atlanticus y T. obesus y de Raphidascaris sp. en T. albacares y T. obesus. Se presentaron sus índices parasitarios de prevalencia, intensidad/intensidad media, abundancia/abundancia media y el rango de la variación de la infección. Los nemátodos se colectaron en la mayoría de los cinco sitios de infección, estómago, intestino, ciego, hígado y cavidad abdominal. A. simplex parasitando T. obesus presentó el mayor nivel de prevalencia (32%), intensidad media (4,6) y abundancia media (1,48); y K. pelamis presentó el mayor rango de la variación de la infección (1-17 parásitos por pez) y el número de sitios de infección (estómago, intestino, ciego, hígado y cavidad abdominal). Se evaluó la importancia de la presencia de larvas de nematodos en estos peces para la salud pública.

The white-spotted sandbass (Paralabrax albomaculatus)is a commercially important species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, but is classified as endangered in the IUCN Red List. For this study, 10 microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using Illumina paired-end sequencing. These loci can be used for genetic studies of population structure and connectivity to aid in the management of the white-spotted sandbass and other closely-related species. The 10 characterized loci were polymorphic, with 11–49 alleles per locus, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.575 to 0.964. This set of markers is the first to be developed for this species.

Abstract Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis), and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) have important economic values for the capture fisheries in Indonesia. Activities of identifying these fish and other types of tuna have been done manually, which can lead to errors and ultimately affect statistics, stock estimates, or traceability. The aim of this research is to use deep learning methods in identifying three species of tuna, specifically yellowfin tuna, mackerel tuna, and skipjack tuna. YOLO’s newest model, YOLOv5, was used to identify the fish. The number of epochs that produces the optimum accuracy value for use in the YOLOv5 model is 400. The values for training loss, accuracy, precision, recall and F1-Score when the model is learning with a total of 400 epochs are 0.000253, 95%, 98.1%, 93.9%, and 96%. Based on these results, the three species of tuna can be identified with high accuracy.
