Something Fishy Going On Here: Article: Fish Fraud Widespread in US: Report

According to the report, 90 percent of the seafood consumed in the United States is imported, and less than 1 percent of it is inspected for mislabeling or other fraud.To conduct the study, the group purchased fish from sushi vendors, supermarkets and restaurants from 2010 to 2012. Nearly 74 percent of fish eaten at sushi venues was mislabeled, while 18 percent of the grocery store fish was mislabeled. Fish fraud was relatively low in Seattle, at around 18 percent, while more than half of fish from Southern California and Pennsylvania were mislabeled.Not only were most of the tuna and snapper species mislabeled, but most of what was labeled white tuna was actually a fish called escolar, which can cause serious digestive issues in susceptible people who eatmore than a little bit of the fish, the study found. Because many types of fish are high in mercury, consumers could also be unknowingly consuming high levels of mercury.Figuring out where the mislabeling occurs is a tricky business, because right now there isn't a good way of tracking fish from the boat all the way to the consumer's plate, the study notes.http://www.livescience.com/27325-fish-frequently-mislabeled.html
