AquAdvantage Salmon is genetically modified by using the growth hormone-regulating gene, which is acquired from the Pacific Chinook Salmon. A promoter from an ocean pout is included in the 40,000 genes, which results in the enhanced growth of salmon on a year-round basis altering the growth cycle of wild salmon, which only incorporates the growth in summer and spring. In this manner, contrary to the duration of three year, the market size of the fish is acquired in 16 to 18 months and hence, the growth rate is improved due to process of traditional selective breeding ( ...
