Risk assessment and risk management of transgenic fish

Dear Forum Participant,

Welcome to the Discussion Group on “Risk assessment and risk management of transgenic fish”.

**The discussions within this group will take place during 10-23 November 2008.**

To assist in the discussions, a non-exhaustive list of suggested reading materials, as well as an introduction to the topic, have been made available.

A short tutorial to assist the participants in posting messages and navigating through the Forum has been made available at http://bch.cbd.int/forum/tutorial_discgroup.pdf.

As a participant to the Open-ended Online Expert Forum on Risk Assessment and Risk Management, your contribution is of extreme importance in making this Forum an unprecedented medium of discussion which is a forerunner to the intergovernmental negotiations on the development of guidance material on specific aspects of risk assessment of LMOs.

The CBD Secretariat thanks you for your active participation. Happy discussions!

Best regards,
The Biosafety Division

Thank you. I have followed the discussions and will provide input before closure date. Due to travelling I am only joining now.
