| Innovation Title | Protocol for Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) broodstock replacement from within for satellite hatcheries in Myanmar |
| Innovation description | A protocol to produce replacement Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) broodstock was developed and tested at the Shwebo and Nad Yay Kan hatcheries, to regenerate broodstock for commercial seed production following a severe mortality of the GIFT broodstock negatively affecting the hatchery production in the second half of 2019. |
