Súhrn: An end-point polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the discrimination of meat of various fish species is presented. The method is based on sequences of highly diverse intron regions within the parvalbumin gene. A procedure leading to such a sequence was developed through the use of a bioinformatic approach. A matrix describing the variability of DNA base pairs in each position of exons was constructed using available fish parvalbumin cDNA sequences, and this was used as an instrument for designing species-independent degenerate primers. Intron sequences suitable for designing species-specific primers were obtained from amplicons produced by PCR initiated by the degenerate primers. Pairs of primers designed to anneal within the second intron in the protein-coding region of the parvalbumin gene led to PCR stringent enough to distinguish black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus) from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
