In announcing the approval, the FDA said that there are "no biologically relevant differences in the nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon."
食品藥品管理局表示,AquAdvantage三文魚（美國AquaBounty技術(shù)公司的研究人員將大西洋三文魚、太平洋奇努克三文魚以及大洋鱈魚三種魚進(jìn)行基因雜交改造,培育出來的一種全新三文魚品種）與其他農(nóng)場養(yǎng)殖的大西洋三文魚的營養(yǎng)含量沒什么生物區(qū)別.
AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachusetts-based company AquaBounty. Ron Stotish, the company's CEO, said in a statement that the fish is a "game changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally responsible manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats."
