The various possibilities in the transformation and packaging of fish produ cts from around the world induced the Venetian Veterinary Service to confir m the anatomical recognition - operated on the field - through a laboratory analytical method. The AA set up an electrophoretic analysis allowing a reliable identificatio n of different fish species, being thus useful to recognize commercial frau ds. This work reports some frauds about commercial fish products detected thank s to this method and some studies on other fish species that could have an incorrect commercial denomination.
