Abstract

AquAdvantage Salmon, produced by AquaBounty Technologies, Inc., is the first genetically engineered (GE) fish to be considered for commercial production and human consumption in the United States. Its application is currently under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although private companies around the world are working on developing at least 35 species of GE fish and shellfish—including catfish, carp, oysters, and trout—no country has yet approved any of them for commercial production or human consumption.
