Abstract

This risk analysis examines the pathogen risks associated with the proposed importation of fry of GIFT, a strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) developed by WorldFish that is characterized by its improved growth characteristics, to Nigeria for aquaculture development. It is one of three separate but related expert risk assessments commissioned by WorldFish Malaysia (1) to evaluate the genetic, ecological and pathogen risks associated with the proposed transfer and (2) to outline a risk management plan. This analysis highlights the high level of risk management measures that WorldFish has either implemented or proposed.
