products of biotechnology, by companies around the world and in Canada,
is the need to assess their environmental and human health safety. This
is achieved through the implementation of a regulatory program. DFO
assists in the administration of the New Substances Notification
Regulations (Organisms) for living aquatic organism products of
biotechnology.

 Aquatic Bio-technology and Genomics Research and Development Program
Aquatic biotechnology is an exciting area of science
that involves combining science and technology applied to aquatic
organisms to develop and apply innovative tools, techniques and products
that help to: conserve oceans and other aquatic ecosystems; protect
species at risk; detect and treat disease in fish; identify fish
populations so fishery managers can make rapid decisions on when and how
much can be caught...and more!
