Sumario:Fish species substitution and fraud has become a worldwide economic issue in the seafood industry. In this study, an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy-based method was developed for the identification of fish samples. Sixty fish samples from twelve commonly consumed fish species in China were analyzed as models to testify the protocol. The obtained results show that UV-Vis spectroscopy combined with chemometric analysis, such as principal component analysis (PCA), can accurately distinguish two fish species by boiling fish tissue sample in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) solution for 2 min and analyzing the resultant samples using a UV-Vis spectrometer. The developed strategy was successfully applied to the classification and identification of fish samples on the market. It is a promising strategy that can be applied to the classification and authenticity testing of closely related fish species in order to detect and recognize fish substitution.
