9781845932961: Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms Volume 3: Methodologies for Transgenic Fish

Sinopsis

The decline of many individual and wild fish stocks has commanded an increase in aquaculture production to meet the protein demands of a growing population. Alongside selective breeding schemes and expanding facilities, transgenic methods have received increasing attention as a potential factor in meeting these demands. With a focus on developing countries, this third text in the series provides detailed information on environmental biosafety policy and regulation and presents methodologies for assessing ecological risks associated with transgenic fish.

Reseña del editor

Aquaculture is rapidly increasing to meet protein demands of a growing population and preferences of consumers with rising living standards. Alongside selective breeding and improved production methods, transgenic fish may be one option for meeting these demands. This third text in the series presents scientific methodologies, combined with stakeholder deliberation, for assessing and managing ecological risks of transgenic fish. Much of the discussion also applies to selectively bred fish. The science needed to inform environmental biosafety policy and regulation for transgenic animals in aquaculture, particularly in developing countries, is also addressed.
