✨ Genetically Modified Fish Containment

2440 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 101

Predators, usually birds, can passively transport the eggs of aquatic animals great distances, and gulls can also bring about the dispersion of juvenile and adult fish.

i Transgenic fish shall be housed to prevent predator attacks. Bird netting, while not 100% reliable, is safer than any other form of protection against birds.

ii To protect contained facilities from theft and vandalism, movement sensors, light beams and alarms are required, as perimeter fencing alone is not an effective deterrent.

Grow-out facilities

Certain experiments with transgenic fish may necessitate use of outdoor tanks and raceways. On no account shall such trials be permitted in net cages either in fresh water or in the sea. As such experiments may require keeping fish outside the contained facility, the IAG must be consulted. See section 12 for address of the IAG.

Personnel

As some fish eggs can be sticky and can remain viable out of water for long periods if kept moist, there is always the risk of transferring eggs to other locations unless care is taken. The following protocols ought to be enforced in facilities undertaking work with transgenic fish. Visitors shall also comply with the requirements.

i Personnel working at the facility shall be limited to those involved in the project.

ii Protective clothing should be encouraged in the facility to reduce disease risks.

Note:
Applications for work with other aquatic genetically modified animals should be submitted to the ACNGT with a complete description of the facility to be used. The ACNGT will assess the suitability of these containment procedures and requirements on a case-by-case basis.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
