The paper relates the policy response of several levels of government in Canada and Brazil following field genebanking activities. Reasons for fish genebanking are first presented, including broodstock programs for enhancement and aquaculture, and insurance against extinction. The governmental response to field actions is described and analyzed in relation to concerns about spread of disease, choice of stocks for conservation, introductions and transfers, and ownership and control of genetic resources
