The FDA Seafood
List is a searchable compendium of more than 1500 species of
finfish and shellfish important in the U.S. It includes Approved
Market Names, Common Names, Scientific Names, Vernacular (local) Names
and links back to the RFE for those species included.

This is an Index of Isoelectric Focusing Gel
* Lane Banding Pattern
Peak Reports in the Regulatory Fish Encyclopedia
resulting from Densitometry, Integration, and Migration
Position Normalization (Position Calibration against pI Marker Standards)
from use of the
Standard RFE IEF Gel Format. These reports contain data for
large plate IEF analyses for 57 specimens from 39 species (of the 94 species
currently in the RFE). These data are linked from the above Browse Page and from the
Page 5 sections of the species pages.
* Isoelectric Focusing Methodology is based on the AOAC Official Methods of Analysis (1995) - AOAC Official Method 980.16:
Identification of Fish Species - Thin Layer Polyacrylamide Gel Isoelectric Focusing Method
Overview of the RFE
(
Back to Species Browse Options)
The Regulatory Fish Encyclopedia (RFE) is a compilation of data in
several formats that assists with the accurate identification of fish species.
It was developed by FDA's RFE Team to help federal, state, and local officials
and purchasers of seafood identify
species substitution and economic deception in the marketplace.
The RFE includes for each of a number of commercially relevant fish
species for sale in the U.S. market
high-resolution photographs as their scanned digital images
(jpeg format) of whole fish and their
marketed product forms (including fillets, steaks, or whole crustaceans)
which may be used for visual comparison to a whole fish in
question (or its marketed product form).
The RFE also includes unique taxonomic characteristics (physical
properties such as size, shape, color, etc.), usually in a
"checklist" format, to aid in identification. In addition there is
chemical taxonomic information consisting of
species-characteristic biochemical patterns which may be compared
quantitatively to patterns obtained by an appropriate laboratory analysis
of the fish species specimen in question. Currently the RFE includes
tissue protein patterns determined by Isoelectric Focusing (IEF) electrophoresis;
in addition, CO1 Mitochondrial DNA sequence patterns for species
identification (DNA "Barcoding") are being collected.
A graphical representation of the
"Anatomy of an RFE IEF Gel" and a more detailed
description of the RFE are available.
This DISCLAIMER pertains to the use of the
RFE and to use of the images and data therein.
