This undated 2010 file photo provided by AquaBounty Technologies shows two same-age salmon, a genetically modified salmon, rear, and a non-genetically modified salmon, foreground. Coming to restaurant near you: the world’s first genetically modified salmon destined for the dinner table has been approved for sale in Canada. “We’re thrilled,” Stotish, of AquaBounty Technologies, told the Star in an interview. AquaBounty Technologies' Canadian-invented creature can be sold to commercial fish farms as eggs to be grown in land-based facilities. And if operations can get off the ground quickly, the AquaBounty AquAdvantage salmon (AAS) could be on grocery shelves “as early as this year,” says company CEO Ron Stotish.
