Thailand: Thailand Publishes Certification Requirements for Aquatic Animals Developed Using Genome Editing Technology
Thailand’s Department of Fisheries (DOF) has established procedures to certify aquatic animals developed through genome editing technology for domestic research and development, production, and/or distribution. Eligible animals must show gene knockout, induced mutation, or novel gene traits without incorporating foreign DNA. DOF requires electronic application submission. DOF or its designated centers will review applications, monitor certified animals, and may revoke certifications if standards are not met or if false information is discovered. Certification revocation takes immediate effect.
