10 Objective of Genimpact The objective of Genimpact is to integrate current knowledge about the genetic impact of aquaculture, identify on-going projects in this area and define future research priorities. The project will also provide recommendations for management options for the aquaculture industry in order to minimize the genetic impact of aquaculture activities. The project proposes to produce a web page to facilitate public access to the results and reports of this project, including consensus statements on the genetic impact of farming activities and its implications for aquaculture management, stock conservation and environment safety, to discuss the results with representatives of the aquaculture industry, environmental, consumer and animal welfare organizations, and to disseminate the results in scientific and lay language among scientific audiences, NGOs, policy makers and the media.

11 The following aspects will be covered Genetic impacts of escapees and restocking and introduction of non-native strains Genetic impacts of culture practices Triploids (both fish and shellfish), tetraploid mother oyster strains Growth enhancement in fish by gene transfer DNA vaccines Genetic impact evaluation, monitoring tools and modeling Predictive Tools: modeling and assessment of risk
