Abstract
Seafood fraud generally practices by misleading the consumers about seafood to increase economic profits. Fish and fisheries products fraud always have negative impacts on species conservation efforts as well as on public health. Fraud in seafood products is a very widespread issue and ranked among the top food fraud product categories. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) found in a recent investigation that about one-third of all fish and seafood products around the world are mislabeled and fraudulent practices have been detected in seafood value chain management. So combating seafood fraudulent is a complex task that requires the strengthening of national food regulatory programs along with the development of effective, science-based traceability systems and improved methods. Therefore, the present study highlighted the recent issues of seafood fraud in supply chain management and give an insight into the importance of product authenticity and traceability from raw material to the final seafood products.
