Key Points

The aim is to identify distinct fatty acid compositions that differentiate farmed gilthead seabream from wild ones.
Analyzed fatty acid composition of gilthead seabream from farmed and wild sources.
Compared lipid profiles to establish biochemical fingerprints for each group.
Distinct fatty acid profiles identified, effectively differentiating farmed from wild fish.
Lipid profile differences offer a reliable method for seafood authentication.

Implication

Study demonstrates lipid profiles differentiate farmed and wild gilthead seabream, suggesting a method for seafood authentication.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that fatty acid composition provides a reliable biochemical fingerprint for differentiating farmed and wild gilthead seabream. Distinct lipid profiles resulting from feeding practices offer a valuable tool for seafood authentication and fraud prevention. The study was presented at the 52nd WEFTA CONFERENCE 2024, ÇEŞME-IZMIR, TÜRKIYE in October 2024.
