More than taste test required for salmon

IT IS REPORTED THAT about 30 percent of the salmon in the Chinese market is in fact rainbow trout, which is a species of salmonid living in cold fresh water. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

The fish sellers have on purpose kept consumers in the dark, profiting from the price gap between the two kinds of fish. Even after the media exposed the fish dealers' trick, those selling rainbow trout as salmon simply call the fish "fresh water salmon".

However, none of the food safety, agricultural or commerce administrative departments has yet put a stop to the wrongdoings.
