Abstract

Mr. Isaak Walton in his classic book on fishing (The Compleat Angler, 1593 – 1683) attributes the above quote to a Dr. Boteler who was very fond of strawberries. We now have the technology to make a better berry - the anti-freeze protein gene from the winter flounder has been inserted into strawberries and other crops to help them tolerate cold temperatures. Is this a "better" berry? What are the benefits and risks? Will genetic modification be useful and accepted in aquaculture? When and for whom? International organizations must address a variety of questions in this area. The following article is based on a presentation the author made at WAS 1999.
