The salmon was genetically modified so that it grows faster than conventional salmon. Photo shows AquaBounty processing associates Skyler Miller (left) and Jacob Clawson (right), with CEO Sylvia Wulf holding salmon from the initial harvest. The salmon is approved for sale in the US, Canada and Brazil.
