GIFT transfer risk management: Genetics
Abstract
- This report is a genetic risk analysis of introducing Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) in Nigeria for aquaculture purposes. GIFT is a strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) that has been genetically improved for about 17 generations. For the purpose of this analysis, it is assumed that feral populations of GIFT will become established in waterbodies that contain Nile tilapia and other tilapia species, and that hybridization with some of these species is possible. As a result, changes in the genotype, and therefore fitness, of several native tilapia species in Nigeria is possible
