Abstract

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on 25 August 2010 that it is considering approval of a genetically engineered (GE) salmon for human consumption, which would make it the first GE animal in the world to enter the food supply chain. Approval of this transgenic salmon is extremely problematic for fishing communities and consumers in the US and around the world.
