On Tuesday, a government committee may visit the Department of Fisheries to look over import files and inspect the condition of fish carcasses.
Nattacha Boonchaiinsawat, a Move Forward Party MP for Bangkok and deputy president of the committee, stated on Friday that they would evaluate the trade controls for international types to see how strict the controls are.
Regarding the trade of blackchin fish bass from 2013 to 2016, the district’s director-general, Bancha Sukkaew, said records have shown that 11 secret companies exported this species of fish from Thailand to 17 nations worldwide, totalling 230, 000 bass.
Blackchin fish bass were first discovered in Thai waters in 2012, but at the moment they were not marked as prohibited.
The Institutional Biosafety Committee recommends that private companies submit tail samples as well as four requirements in order to be permitted to trade mysterious fish species.
On Thursday, the committee will also call upon one of the buyers, Charoen Pokphand Foods ( CPF), to answers questions and understand whether they adhered to such circumstances.
In 2010, CPF brought the aggressive bass into Thailand.
The Samut Songkhram province-based firm had a force to examine the fish for breeding purposes.
Mr. Nattacha explained that the investigation aims to set up a stricter system for fish imports, especially those that could endanger the ecosystem.
Without demanding methods, Thailand may face thousands of alien varieties, he said.
The committee also wants to know whether the aggressive fish’s DNA matches that of the bass brought by CPF.
CPF claimed to have lost all of the property of blackchin fishes fish in 2011.
The Lawyers Association’s vice president will also be contacted to offer legal counsel on issues involving organic tools and the environment. The subcommittee’s results will be used to acquire filing the petition.
The congressional will review the current rules for amendments because the potential solution to the problem is insufficient to the current law. For the moment, Mr. Nattacha asserted that they can assume duty in accordance with the law or spiritual principles.
