DNA testing

Illegal fishing and illegal logging can be tracked through the employment of DNA testing at the point of origin and at the point of final sale. Work done on abalone DNA, for example, demonstrates that particular species within particular geographical locations can be identified as having specific (and thus unique) types of DNA (Roffey, et al. 2004; see also, Ogden, 2008). The use of phylogenetic DNA profiling as a tool for the investigation of poaching also offers a potential deterrent in that regular testing allows for the linking of abalone species and/or subspecies to a particular country of origin. This increases the chances of detection and thus may have relevance to crime prevention as such. The use of DNA testing to track the illegal possession and theft of animals and plants can thus serve to deter would-be offenders, if applied consistently, proactively, and across national boundaries.
