Summary
These Proceedings summarize the relevant discussions and key conclusions that resulted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) National Peer Review Meeting on the Environmental and Indirect Human Health Risk Assessments of the GloFish® Electric Green®, Starfire Red®, Sunburst Orange®, and Galactic Purple® Pristella Tetras (Pristella maxillaris): Transgenic Ornamental Fishes.
This meeting was held virtually November 14-15, 2022.
The objective of the meeting was to provide relevant science advice on the Environmental and Indirect Human Health Risk Assessments and recommendations on these risk assessments, and, if required, recommend mitigation measures to manage risks. The advice will be provided to Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada in support of their Canadian Environmental Protection Act risk assessment and decision-making process for products of biotechnology that have been notified under the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms).
The conclusions and advice resulting from this meeting are provided in the form of a Science Advisory Report which is available on the CSAS website. The supporting Research Documents reviewed and discussed at the meeting will also be made available on the CSAS website.
