Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has approved AquaBounty's Rollo Bay facility on Prince Edward Island for the commercial manufacture and grow-out of AquAdvantage Salmon.
After an extensive and thorough evaluation, ECCC approved the production of AquAdvantage Salmon at the site based on the physical, biological, and operational measures in place or planned at the Rollo Bay facility, said the company.
This announcement by ECCC, which came to the same conclusion as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after assessing the company’s Albany, Indiana, land-based production facility, is the fifth regulatory determination of environmental safety after similar findings in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, and China.
