GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia)

GIFT, or Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia, refers to tilapia fish that have been selectively bred or biologically enhanced to improve traits such as faster growth, better feed efficiency, and increased resilience to diseases. The goal is to produce healthier, more productive fish to supply seafood more sustainably and efficiently. This breeding process involves scientific methods to ensure consistent improvements without introducing foreign genes, ultimately benefiting farmers, consumers, and the environment by increasing fish yields and reducing the need for antibiotics or other interventions.
