Environmental Effects of Purchasing, Consuming Mislabeled Fish
ScienceDaily posts about research conducted by Arizona State University professor and RFF University Fellow Kailin Kroetz that examines the environmental impacts of seafood mislabeling.
"Seafood is the world's most highly traded food commodity, and reports of seafood mislabeling have increased over the past decade. However, proof of the environmental effects of mislabeled seafood has been scant as has research. So, Arizona State University researcher Kailin Kroetz and her colleagues analyzed the impact of seafood mislabeling on marine population health, fishery management effectiveness, and habitats and ecosystems in the United States, the world's largest seafood importer.
The results of the study were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
