The invasive blackchin tilapia threatens Thailand’s ecosystem and economy, prompting government intervention. Public fishing incentives have been introduced to control the species’ population, alongside efforts in genetic modifications.

As Thailand tackles this ecological issue, the balance between controlling invasive species and protecting native biodiversity remains a critical concern.
