英文原稿
Soybeans and corn have been for sales for over 2 decades. Now, if the FDA gives the green light, the first GM edible animal, a farmed salmon, could one day join their ranks.
The fish is an Atlantic salmon with two tweaks to its DNA: a growth hormone gene form the large king salmon and genetic material from the eel-like ocean pout to keep that growth hormone activated. The fish, which is female and sterile, should reach maximum size quickly in the land-based tanks where it would be raised.
Still, the company was fined for environmental violations, and critics worry the fish could escape into the wild and create new problems.
The FDA has yet to approve it for human consumption. If allowed, it is imperative it be labeled, so consumers can vote with their wallets.
