“…The overgrowth of waterbodies was determined visually (using a laser range finder) and was estimated as a percentage of the total area of the water body. The type of feeding of water bodies was determined according to the literature data [4][5].…”

The paper presents materials on a comprehensive assessment of reservoirs for commercial aquaculture, exemplified by some waterbodies in the Rostov region. We have examined 24 waterbodies located in the southern and south-eastern Rostov region. The assessment of reservoirs was carried out based on hydrological and hydrochemical indicators, the point score of which was carried out in four sets of issues. Almost all the studied water bodies because of the lack of required water supply have been classified as reservoirs with risky fish farming. Most aquaculture reservoirs recommended for commercial farming are found in the zone of a very arid climate, characterized by annual precipitation ratio of 0.33-0.44. A brief hydrochemical description of each investigated waterbody can be used to form scientifically-based recommendations for the organization of commercial fish farms in Russia.

“…Trace elements fingerprinting, stable isotope analysis, and DNA-based methods are among the most used approaches for this purpose. While these techniques show promise for definitively identifying the geographical origin of fish and other seafood [32,[171][172][173], they have certain drawbacks, especially in terms of the required time and the destructive nature of measurements.…”

Animal origin food products, including fish and seafood, meat and poultry, milk and dairy foods, and other related products play significant roles in human nutrition. However, fraud in this food sector frequently occurs, leading to negative economic impacts on consumers and potential risks to public health and the environment. Therefore, the development of analytical techniques that can rapidly detect fraud and verify the authenticity of such products is of paramount importance. Traditionally, a wide variety of targeted approaches, such as chemical, chromatographic, molecular, and protein-based techniques, among others, have been frequently used to identify animal species, production methods, provenance, and processing of food products. Although these conventional methods are accurate and reliable, they are destructive, time-consuming, and can only be employed at the laboratory scale. On the contrary, alternative methods based mainly on spectroscopy have emerged in recent years as invaluable tools to overcome most of the limitations associated with traditional measurements. The number of scientific studies reporting on various authenticity issues investigated by vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and fluorescence spectroscopy has increased substantially over the past few years, indicating the tremendous potential of these techniques in the fight against food fraud. It is the aim of the present manuscript to review the state-of-the-art research advances since 2015 regarding the use of analytical methods applied to detect fraud in food products of animal origin, with particular attention paid to spectroscopic measurements coupled with chemometric analysis. The opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of spectroscopic techniques and possible future directions will also be discussed.

“…This would seem to offer an effective solution to verify provenance claims, at least for these product groups. Other studies have proposed the use of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) through Itrax to examine elemental profiles (Gopi et al 2019a;2019b) and also the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to develop distinct fingerprints by geographic location for blue mussels (Bennion et al 2019) and ground water (Voerkelius et al 2010).…”

Food provenance: assuring product integrity and identity

Food supply chains are highly complex and involve numerous actors who influence food safety and the integrity of products and processes, both at individual points in the supply chain and more holistically throughout the chain as a whole. Provenance can relate to a particular source or origin of a food and its individual ingredients and/or relate to claims on how the product is produced and what marketing claims have been attached to the product. The aim of this review is to consider the recent advances in developing transparent data systems to demonstrate food provenance. One technological development is the use of Blockchain, a data handling structure which provides a secure network of information that cannot be changed or destroyed, distributed between supply chain actors. Other developments in information systems that can be used to monitor a range of criteria include geographic information systems (GIS) which can be linked with, for example, stable isotope analysis to provide an indication of provenance for a given product or ingredient. This technology is used as a case study in this paper to demonstrate the opportunities and limitations to such technological approaches. The review reflects on aspects of provenance and the actions that can be taken at organisational and supply chain level to demonstrate transparency so that consumers can have trust in those procuring, processing and supplying food.
