Project:

Shady Snapper and Suspicious Sushi: Identifying Mislabeled Red Snapper in New York City

Students:

Ashton Chan, Jason Mero

Institution:

NYU, Manhattan

Mentors:

Alberto Stolfi

Abstract:

According to the Oceana study, 39% of fish sold in Manhattan are mislabeled. Our objective in this experiment is to determine whether certain fish being sold in supermarkets across Manhattan and Brooklyn match the label they provide. We will also be looking into factors that might help predict the mislabeling of fish, such as retail price or the geographic location of the offending commercial establishment.
