Will AquaBounty get FDA approval for US production?

If Indiana's defunct Bell Aquaculture indoor fish farm nabs Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for production of genetically engineered salmon, it could be the first producer of AquaAdvantage salmon in the United States, reported the Star Press.

The facility, purchased by AquaBounty in June, contains two dozen, 70,000 gallon indoor fish tanks.

"If it's deemed safe by all of the regulatory agencies, I'd be honored to eat the first salmon to come out of there," said Local Farm Bureau leader Joe Russell to the paper.
