Reveal your microbes, and i’ll reveal your origins: geographical traceability via Scomber colias intestinal tract metagenomics - Animal Microbiome The commercial demand for small pelagic fish, such as Atlantic chub mackerel (Scomber colias), renders them susceptible to provenance fraud. Scomber colias specimens intestinal tract bacteriome from f...

New paper out!

We used gut microbiomes of Scomber colias to trace fish origins along the Portuguese coast with 85% accuracy. A step forward in seafood traceability & safety.
