'CSI' for Fish

Two teenage girls used DNA bar coding to determine that some sushi on New York dinner plates was mislabeled with cheaper fish being passed off as a more expensive species.
Kate Stoeckle and Louisa Strauss were not science majors or even college students when they decided to take 60 samples of seafood and use a genetic fingerprinting technique to see whether the fish were labeled correctly.
The results showed that 25 percent of the girls' samples were mislabeled: half of the restaurant samples and six out of 10 grocery store samples.
Kate Stoeckle's father, Mark, a scientist and proponent of the use of DNA bar coding, said of the girls, "They are the first to do it..."It's like 'CSI' for fish."
