30 Years in the Making

AquaBounty made its first harvest of genetically engineered Atlantic salmon in the US in June, a milestone 30 years in the making. The salmon was genetically modified so that it grows faster than conventional salmon.

The salmon is approved for sale in the US, Canada and Brazil.
