Our idea come from the improving of the traceability technique in agro-food fisheries industries through the application of omics technologies in microbiota studies. These latter would be capable of exploiting the huge pool of biological molecules contained in fishery resources (e.g. nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites) and use them as a powerful tools for the identification and reconstruction of fishery history, from the sea to the table. Employing integrative approaches, the aims work is to respond above all to the ever increasing need to identify the geographical area origins of the "seafood" and specially in some high added value fishery products. Through the application of these new technologies, stakeholders may be offer new tools and techniques (production / processing regulations and labels) to transfer more certainty to consumers about the origin and quality of the product purchased.
The technologies are proposed to provide each actor of the fish supply chain (from the fisherman to the retailer), which allows them to protect and enhance the high quality Mediterranean fish products. Differencing aforementioned products in definite manner by without history products, coming from illegal, unregulated and undeclared fishing.
The proposed technology would have repercussions through the entire agri-food chain system benefiting the final consumers too, who would be offered a renewed and safe product. Moreover it may both defence and protect the fish industry network that is capable to curb the huge "mislabeling" pocket, an increasingly widespread and pervasive phenomenon.
