Salmon producer AquaBounty said Friday it has made its first sale of its genetically modified AquAdvantage salmon to unnamed customers in Canada.

In the company's quarterly report released Friday it said "regulatory approval for the harvest and export of our fish from our Panama farm site was received during the current period, and a batch of fish was sold and shipped to customers in Canada."

The report shows sales revenue of $53,000 (€44.604) during the quarter from the sale of what the company said was 5 metric tons of GM fish.
