  text: "Properly handled fish is usually marketed as “fresh fish” until day 10 after
    fishing. About 40% of the total fishery that is used for direct human consumption
    is marketed in fresh form stored at temperatures up to +2 °C. Currently, there
    are no validated methods available for controlling the recommended period of storage.
    Apart from being a potential source for food fraud, spoiled fish represents a
    major source of foodborne illnesses and intoxications.\r\nIn this study, a rapid
    MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry based screening method was developed using the vitreous
    fluid of fish eyes as specimen for the examination of different days of storage.
    The vitreous fluid was collected from n = 100 freshly fished brown trouts at day
    0, 3, 7, 9, and 11 post mortem (n = 20 brown trouts each day of examination).
    The samples were immediately measured by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in linear
    positive mode (mass range m/z 2000–20,000 Da). For quality assurance the experiment
    was repeated with a set of brown trouts (n = 100) originating from the same fish
    farm and with brown trouts (n = 100) originating from a different fish farm. For
    specificity testing rainbow trouts (n = 10) were examined accordingly. All obtained
    mass spectra were processed by means of MALDI Biotyper OC 3.1 and ClinProTools
    3.0 software.\r\nThe MALDI Biotyper approach showed limited applicability for
    the identification of the time of storage. However, it was suitable to reliably
    discriminate between the closely related species brown and rainbow trout. Processing
    by ClinProTools revealed four crucial mass peaks (m/z 2594 Da, m/z 4857 Da, m/z
    4879 Da, m/z 4899 Da) which enabled a reliable differentiation between day 0 and
    3, 7, 9, 11 (rate of correct identification > 90%) as well as the differentiation
    between day 3 and 7, 9, 11 (rate of correct identification > 72%). However, this
    approach showed limited applicability within the end of the tested period of storage
    when comparing between day 7, 9, or 11."
