This is the image you usually see when the media does a story on genetically engineered salmon: big #GMO #salmon, small non GMO salmon.

But in any comparison it is important to compare apples to apples or genotypes to genotypes. This is the study that AquaBounty(GM Salmon co.) cites. In it researchers compared growth rates of transgenic(TG) and non-transgenic salmon(NTG) for a period of 96 days. Both NTG and TG fish came from the same parents or brood stock(this is important).

Didn't think much about genetic engineering until a US company in PEI altered an Atlantic salmon.

Ten years and two court cases later, I now think GE is a major risk for nature--not just salmon--and for human rights. And it’s coming fast. Image Et les Canadiens prennent note que notre pays a l'un des régimes les plus permissifs à l'égard du génie génétique. Les Canadiens sont 1er au monde à manger un animal génétiquement modifié (le saumon) et nous sommes 4 eme plus grands producteurs de plantes génétiquement modifiées.
