August 28, 2025 — NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement has completed a second deployment of a new rapid genetic analysis tool that can detect seafood fraud.
“The new device is proving to be a valuable tool that helps officers examine more shipments in less time, with rapid results that also help clear the way for legal seafood to reach the market counter,” said Bryan Landry, assistant special agent in charge within NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement.
