摘要

Illegal distribution and mislabeling of imported fishery products pose challenges to country-of-origin labeling regulations in Korea. To address this issue, a quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based method was developed to distinguish Pagrus major from Korea and Japan. Using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were identified, and allele-specific primers were designed. Gaussian mixture modeling established Ct thresholds, achieving accuracy of 81.67% and 77.78% for SNP001 and SNP008, respectively. The amplification efficiency and limit of detection (LOD) were assessed using tenfold serial dilutions (10–0.001 ng/μL). Standard curves for AA and TT homotypes showed high linearity (R2 > 0.994) with amplification efficiencies of 103.65% and 97.63%, respectively. This qPCR-based method provides a reliable approach for origin verification of P. major, aiding regulatory enforcement and ensuring seafood authenticity.
