| Innovation Title | New knowledge and practices for managing the risks of introductions and transfers of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) in different countries and territories |
| Innovation description | The introductions or transfers of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) to more countries and territories in the coming years will increase. Defining the risks related to these introductions and the related management help to prepare moving GIFT successfully. New knowledge about risk management is produced considering potential ecological, genetic and disease risks of GIFT introductions and transfers, as well as established international best practices. |
