Green Pulse Ep 44: In hot soup: The fishy business about the fish you eat
15:50 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Some people make it a point to avoid eating shark fin for environmental and ethical reasons. But it turns out that food products containing these threatened species may be more ubiquitous than expected. A new study by researchers from the National University of Singapore and Wildlife Conservation Society has found that many shark and ray products in Singapore are mislabelled.
So items labelled “dried fish” or “salted fish” may actually be from shark and ray species facing extinction. In this episode, hear from researchers Christina Choy and Choo Min Yi on how they uncovered this fishy business through a process called DNA barcoding.
