| dc.description | The production of appropriate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) offers considerable opportunities for more efficient and more effective aquaculture across a wide range of species. Although this potential is being realized in crop production with over 60 million hectares under cultivation, there has been no commercial use of GMOs in aquaculture. Here we review the nature of GMOs, the range of aquatic species in which GMOs have been produced, the methods and target genes employed, the benefit s to aquaculture, the problems attached to the use of GMOs and the regulatory and other social frameworks surrounding them. We conclude with a set of recommendations aimed at best practice. | |
