| Innovation Title | Contextualized better management practices (BMPs) for monosex tilapia seed production in Timor-Leste |
| Innovation description | Better Management Practices (BMPs) for producing high-quality genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) monosex seed were developed to support the scaling of fish farming to contribute to food and nutrition security in Timor-Leste. These simple and low-cost methods and recommendations, including biosecurity, have been tested and proven over five years of research and development in Timor-Leste. |
