Species identification of seafood product is important for the implementation of the labeling regulations as set by many countries. These regulations to prevent the substitution of some commercially important fish can be effectively achieved when species-specific data of all fish species are available. Genome and protein techniques are the two valuable methodologies that can be used for fish species identification. These methods can prevent adulteration of toxic puffer species as nontoxic puffer one. Hence, the development of genome and protein techniques for effective identification of puffer species is critically needed.
