Formed by insertion of a donor organism's genes, the recipient organism is called a "transgenic" or a GMO (genetically modified organism). In the U.S., ... The donated genes keep the transgenic salmon growing year-round, instead of taking a winter break, so they reach adult size ten to thirty times faster than normal.

Under hatchery conditions, in which fish were fed a commercially available diet, the transgenic salmon grew to nearly three times the size of their wild cousins. However, in the natural environment, in which fish were exclusively fed natural food items, transgenics had only a 20% weight advantage.

Male heterozygous brood fish presently on hand are capable of producing 50% fast growing transgenic salmon when mated to wild female salmon and indications to date suggest that size grading at a weight of less than 5 grams is an effective method of separating transgenic fish.

We have developed an "all fish" growth hormone (GH) chimeric gene construct by using an antifreeze protein gene (AFP) promoter from ocean pout linked to a chinook salmon GH cDNA clone. After microinjection into fertilized, nonactivated Atlantic salmon eggs via the micropyle, transgenic Atlantic salmon were generated.

The recent announcement that up to 100,000 farmed salmon had escaped near the Bay of Fundy slipped by with surprisingly little comment. ... Undoubtedly, this release will threaten North America's remaining wild stock of Atlantic salmon, which has declined by about 65 per cent since the early '80s and now numbers around 250...
