摘要

Asian scientists are the first to initiate research in transgenic fish and Asia is the centre of research activity in transgenic fish. Transgenic fish thus far generated display desirable traits, excepting a few, in which reproductive performance seems to have been impaired. Only 12 countries have framed their respective national policy or regulations on genetically modified aquatic organisms. However, transgenic research is growing so fast that these guidelines and regulations will have to be revised from time to time. GH-transgenes are analogous to selected and/or domesticated lines, capable of growing 4-5 times faster. Transgenics, that are anti,freeze protein transformants, may not interJere as much as exotic fish. Regarding biological containment, available methods for inducing sterility of transgenics are briefly described. A notification by the Gazette of India has defined a number of terms like 'cell hybridization', 'gene technology', 'genetic engineering', etc. which are relevant to the term 'Genetically modified organisms (GMO)'. For instance, genetic engineering is defined as the technique by which heritable material, which does not usually and/or naturally occur in the organism or the cell concerned, but is generated outside the organism or cell, is inserted into the said cell or organism and results in its genetic modification. However, a broader version of GMO includes progenies of hybridization, ploidy induction and transgenesis. In fish, pre-embryonic events are manipulable and 35 different types of ploidy inductions are possible. Interspecific and interploidy (4n vs 2n) hybridizations in a few sahnonids and cyprinids induce sterile and fertile triploid, respectively. Table I shows that almost all ploidy types occur in nature also. As induction of ploidy results in different qualitative and quantitative alterations of the native chromosomes, this aspect is not considered here, although some of its benefits are discussed under biological containment. Transgenics are generated through microinjection or electroporation of solution containing a recombinant DNA construct into the newly fertilized eggs. Thus the recombinant DNA and transfer technology allows the transfer, inheritance and expression of a specific DNA sequence of heterologous or homologous origin. In fish, it is now possible to generate transgenics bearing growth-hormone gene or anti-freeze protein genes. The first one results in the generation of 10-30 times accelerated growth and the second one confers the capacity to tolerate ice-cold waters. This report is therefore confined to the present status of guidelines and regulations imposed on research in transgenic fish and their potential commercial production in farms and natural habitats.
